In this solo episode, Jena unpacks the myth of diagnosis as beginning and end of health concerns. In this case study, the client's severe malnutrition and gut imbalances that followed her COVID infection caused her to lose over 35 pounds. Jena discusses the diagnostic testing that led to her discoveries, as well as the protocol and treatment plan that ultimately allowed her client to regain the weight, nourish her body, and get back to enjoying her life, her family, and her job as a kindergarten class volunteer.
