Not a One Size Fits All for Health

We need to stop treating people as if one protocol or drug will solve the problem for every single human being.

There is not a one size fits all when it ⁣comes to health. Every single person has a different genetic make-up, nutritional deficiencies, underlying conditions, and past life experiences. This is called bio-individuality. ⁣We need to take each person into account & what they need.⁣

It wasn’t until I got sick that I looked into the idea that one size does not fit all. When I finally got a diagnosis- everyone told me to take antibiotics. Something in my gut didn’t sit well with the idea of doing antibiotics especially considering my Candida & leaky gut. I had them in small doses for many years because doctors didn’t know what was going on with me. Every time I had antibiotics, I would crash. So I sought out something completely unconventional and went against mainstream medicine. ⁣

When I was in school to become a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner we learned about bio-individuality. We were taught that just because a client has a label- doesn’t mean that each person that has that label, gets the same type of advice, supplements or healing protocol.⁣
⁣
There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration because some people respond to one thing & not well to another. You have to look at the whole person rather than just the treat the label. Find the root cause. ⁣

It is time that we stop trying to treat every single medical situation the same way.⁣
