In this episode, Jennifer Alvarez Linguidi, owner of Purely You Spa, discusses her journey into functional health and wellness. Trained in functional medicine and holistic healing, Jennifer explains the importance of balance in life, emphasizing healthy boundaries and self-care. She believes balance is achievable through proactive planning, prioritizing personal well-being, and setting limits on work.
Jennifer dives into functional medicine, explaining how it focuses on finding the root causes of health issues, as opposed to Western medicine's symptom-based treatment. Functional medicine uses tests to understand what’s happening in the body, from gut health to immune function, and aims to boost natural defenses through proactive health strategies. Jennifer introduces listeners to the benefits of technologies like infrared saunas and biohacking, which can help reverse aging and optimize health at a cellular level.
The episode highlights how functional medicine offers an integrative approach to both preventing illness and supporting recovery, blending modern technology with holistic practices.
