Laying the groundwork: Labs, Meetings and an Elimination Diet

I’ve accomplished quite a bit in the month of May, towards a healthier (more knowledgeable) version of me. I had my first meeting with my functional medicine doctor. I’ve had my blood drawn for A LOT of tests, and then more blood drawn for labs they couldn’t do in-house. I also did the lovely job of collecting stool samples for 3 days to send off. I checked back in with my health coach and lastly, I met with a dietician for the first time, in which I’m now 10 days into both a detox and elimination diet. Now let’s dig in on the different tests taken and why, and the ins and outs of what a 10 day detox looks like, as well as the purpose for an elimination diet.
