So many of us want to be able to implement holistic, functional approaches to our disease, but the access to a functional medicine practitioner is just not there. There may not be any functional medicine practitioners in your area or they may be really expensive. Unfortunately, most of us are dependent on the current insurance model of health care, the conventional medical system. So how do we navigate this system and still find the healing we are looking for in a way that gives us the agency over our bodies that we deserve? That’s what we are talking about today with Dr. Kara Wada. Dr. Wada is a Quadruple board-certified pediatric and adult allergy immunology & lifestyle medicine physician, Sjogren’s patient and life coach, who shares her recipe for success combining anti-inflammatory lifestyle, trusting therapeutic relationships, modern medicine & our minds to harness our body’s ability to heal. In this episode, we discuss her healing journey and how her perspective has changed since becoming an autoimmune patient herself. And She gives great practical tips for autoimmune warriors to be able to better communicate with their doctors and make sure they are getting the care they deserve in a system that doesn’t allow most doctors to take more than 8 minutes per office visit.
