We've been hearing the term "functional health" everywhere lately -- but what, exactly, does that mean?

Join Misty as she sits down with functional health coach Vicky DiSanto to explore the fundamental principles of functional health, what conventional approaches often miss, and the small changes you can make right now to create optimal wellbeing.

Some of the topics we discuss are:

• Finding optimal wellness through the endocrine system
• The importance of sleep and circadian rhythm
• How stress affects your adrenal system, thyroid, and inflammation
• How hormones, stress, and cortisol impact our wellbeing (or lack thereof)
• How functional health use lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, and stress management to optimize hormone balances in order to feel your best
• and more!

You can learn more about Vicky here, and follow her on instagram here.
