If you’re familiar with my story, you know that October 23, 2015 was in important turning point (albeit somewhat devastating at the time) in my life. As someone who has now personally battled with mental health challenges (and ultimately dedicated myself to understanding the intricate workings of the mind as a result), I believe it’s…
Both as a Functional Wellness Practitioner, and in my personal life, I’ve spent a ton of time with many affected fibromyalgia sufferers, or heroes, over the years.
