Brain Fog, Bloating & Hormones: Why Your Blood Tests Might Be Misleading You with Dr Dan Kirkbide
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Daniel Kirkbide, a highly experienced functional medicine practitioner, to dive into some of the most common yet frustrating health concerns: brain fog, bloating, and hormone imbalances. We discuss why these symptoms often go undiagnosed or misunderstood in traditional healthcare settings and the importance of getting a comprehensive blood analysis done. Dr. Kirkbide explains how conventional medical training sometimes doesn’t fully equip practitioners to interpret blood tests in a way that identifies the root causes of these issues. Instead of simply managing symptoms or applying quick fixes, we explore how functional medicine takes a deeper, holistic approach to understanding your body's unique needs. Tune in to learn about the key contributors to these symptoms, why identifying the underlying cause is essential, and how proactive, personalized care can make all the difference in your health journey.
