Nancy Guberti: Taking a Proactive Approach to Your Health

Functional medicine is a proactive approach to a healthier lifestyle, as opposed to the conventional one that focuses more on reacting to the symptoms than preventing them from happening. Now, given the global pandemic, we have the opportunity to take a closer look at our habits around eating, sleeping, and exercising, and improve on the areas that we’ve been ignoring in the past. That’s why I brought back Nancy Guberti, and today she shares important pieces of information and advice around the actions we should take to improve our overall health. She also talks about the insights she got from treating COVID-19 patients, stressing the importance of having a strong immune system, and suggesting ways in which we can give it a boost. Nancy Guberti is a functional medicine practitioner, nutritionist, healthy lifestyle coach, author motivational speaker, and she is very passionate to empower others to become their own health advocates. She detects critical health conditions before they strike and she guides people who already have them, on a path to wellness. Nancy is the founder of Total Wellness Empowerment and the host of Total Wellness Empowerment Podcast. She is recognized as a thought leader in healthy living, so listen to Episode 36 of Rejuvenaging to learn how you can become the best overall version of yourself in periods of high stress.
