Why You’re Always Tired: Summary
In this episode – Why You’re Always Tired, Evan interviews Christa Rebidue, a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, who shares her experience with severe fatigue and how functional medicine transformed her life. Christa details her journey from being a competitive athlete who experienced relentless exhaustion, to working with functional lab testing that revealed critical imbalances such as cortisol levels and food sensitivities. These discoveries validated her struggles, leading her to profound lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments and significantly reducing her exercise regimen, which eventually restored her energy and quality of life.
Christa discusses her approach to helping women over 40 uncover and address the root causes of why you’re always tired. She emphasizes the importance of personalized functional lab testing such as the DUTCH test for hormone and adrenal health, stool testing for gut health, and food sensitivity tests. She also stresses lifestyle modifications including proper sleep hygiene, gentle exercise like walking and yoga, and stress management techniques such as breathing exercises and being present in nature. These comprehensive strategies provide a sustainable path to reclaiming energy and vitality for her clients.
In addition to her personal testimony, Christa shares success stories from her practice, like one of a Type A CEO whose cortisol levels were dangerously low. After making lifestyle changes based on lab results, the CEO was able to restore her energy, improve her digestive health, and find a better work-life balance. Christa also recounts the remarkable recovery of her daughter from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis through dietary changes and addressing underlying infections, showcasing the profound impact of functional medicine in real-life scenarios.
