Have you ever felt gaslit by doctors or medical providers? If you've ever experienced the frustration and uncertainty that comes with trying to obtain an accurate medical diagnosis... this episode is for you. Lauren Less (@lesswithlaur) and I dive into how to advocate for yourself when you know something feels "off", dietary restrictions and misconceptions, the complexities of living with chronic conditions and the challenges of seeking medical diagnoses, the connection between the brain and gut, and the importance of mental health in managing chronic illnesses.

ABOUT OUR GUEST, LAUREN LESS: Lauren the creator of the @lesswithlaur Instagram account and the Less with Laur blog, creating an online space you can visit for allergy-friendly recipes, chronic illness support, non-toxic lifestyle suggestions, and health and wellness tips.
