After turning from conventional
medicine when it didn’t offer answers to her health struggles,
Cheryl Meyer discovered life-changing information in the functional
medicine world.
She explains to listeners
Author Cheryl Meyer was living a stressful lifestyle running a
high-profile jewelry business. One day she woke up with bodily
swelling and so much pain she couldn’t get out of bed.
She details this story and how she turned to her regular doctor
whose only solution was steroids and therapy, a response indicative
of what she describes as our broken healthcare system. After Cheryl
turned elsewhere through research, she discovered the world of
functional medicine.
She then explains how testing
revealed she had 18 food sensitives, a concept in functional
medicine that conventional medicine doesn’t explore in the same
way. She goes into more detail about this testing and her various
sensitives and how they led to damage to her gut over time called
leaky gut syndrome.
She describes how our bodies react to that leaking material,
causing even more physical distress. Cheryl explores how
understanding her autoimmune disease led to enough life alterations
that she’s now pain free.
She then talks about coaching
others through this process of
maintaining a healthy lifestyle, acknowledging how yes, it is
hard for people to deal with giving foods up but she says the
payback is worth it. She reminds listeners how much better it is to
reduce the pain and have so many healthy days.
Cheryl believes our broken healthcare system is itself a symptom of
our lack of understanding and attention to the toxins that surround
us and the foods that are harming us.
She is the author of the award-winning It Feels Good to Feel Good and will be publishing another book over the next month. For more information and to contact her about speaking or coaching, see https://cherylmhealthmuse.com/.
