[00:00 - 02:23] Introduction to Christa’s Approach
- Christa’s goal is to empower patients to understand and trust their bodies
- Health should not be dependent on a practitioner's long-term
- Empowered health is rooted in understanding what heals or harms the body
[02:24 - 05:51] Digestion and Detoxification
- The first step is digestion, which is essential for nutrient absorption and toxin excretion
- Hydration and diet form the foundation of good digestion
- Supplements like probiotics and NAC can support gut health and detox pathways
[05:52 - 08:39] Hormonal Balance
- Hormonal balance extends beyond sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone to cortisol, insulin, and thyroid
- Stabilizing blood glucose through diet improves thyroid function
- Hormone replacement therapies are more effective once detoxification is addressed
[08:40 - 11:11] Cellular Health
- Cellular health determines how well the body uses nutrients to create energy
- Organic acid testing reveals how efficiently your body metabolizes fats and carbohydrates
- Energy levels, sleep quality, and brain function reflect the health of your cells
[11:12 - 13:59] Long-Term Healing vs. Quick Wins
- Health is a long-term process, but patients often experience quick wins like better sleep and improved digestion
- Patience is required for deeper changes like hormone regulation, which can take 3-6 months
- Trusting the process and listening to your body are key
[14:00] Practical Steps for Beginners
- Start with foundational habits: drink water, eat whole foods, and prioritize sleep
- Supplements such as vitamin D, magnesium, and probiotics support these foundations
- Accountability from friends or family can help maintain new health habits
