I would love to see a functional physician! ---Insurance won't cover them, lack of money for such things, 60 mile drive to get to one. I do what I can on my own, and watch free docuseries' on health to learn more. I've learned quite a bit in the last year and am trying to work it into my regimen. --- Thank-you very much for the links! I will use both of them. Maybe find a functional that's affordable. 🤞 (You are such a kind, caring person. I appreciate that more than you'll ever know.)
I do understand your dilemma re: insurance as I’m in the same position myself. I actually haven’t been to the doctor since pre-COVID (just did a couple of telehealth sessions) and have been avoiding getting bloodwork done at the hospital as I don’t want to deal with all the nonsense. I pretty much have all of my health conditions well under control with diet (low-carb/high-fat/anti-inflammatory) and targeted supplements, so it isn’t a big deal, although I really should get bloodwork done to monitor my thyroid levels and make sure there aren’t any surprises. I’ve tried at-home bloodwork services like Everlywell so can do that in a pinch, but unfortunately, the tests are limited (they do at least have thyroid, so that’s handy).
It sounds like you’re doing the right thing by taking ownership of your own health and knowledge, which puts you in a better position than most!

I'm sure trying to do better. Not to say, I really am, but I work at it everyday.
That’s *far* more than most people do!
