In this episode of Let’s Feel Good, Dr Alexia shares why she left the traditional medical model to pursue integrative and functional medicine. She explains how the system often treats symptoms instead of root causes and how this leaves so many women feeling unheard and dismissed.
We explore the reality that 80-90 percent of chronic disease is lifestyle driven and dive into what that practically looks like for women today: balanced meals, blood sugar stability, cycle based living, emotional regulation, quality sleep, and daily self care rituals.
We talk about the perfectionism trap in wellness and how rigidity around health practices can actually create more stress in the body. Alexia reminds us that hormonal health is a product of safety, not control.
This is a conversation about trusting your body, supporting your nervous system, building routines that genuinely feel good, and choosing sustainable habits that help you feel better right now while also setting yourself up for a lifetime of vibrant health.
