How CAR Helps Get to the Root of Chronic Illness
Dr Carrie Jones is a force in the functional medicine community, a modern doc with a holistic approach who can appreciate the best of both medical practices. In her own words, she “helps hormonally challenged people to feel less crazy” by using testing and her own extensive knowledge to help people understand their hormones so they can feel empowered to take control of their health.
In this episode, James Maskell and Dr Carrie Jones take a deeper look at stress resilience and share concrete ways you can use the cortisol awakening response with your patients. They also discuss autoimmune patients, some of the most challenging cases to tackle, and how the CAR influences immunity. It was a fascinating 30 minutes, and we think you’ll really enjoy it. Highlights include:
- What the cortisol awakening response can reveal about health, and how to dial in that information for patients
- The impact of the cortisol awakening response on energy levels, resiliency, mood, blood sugar management and autoimmune recall
- How the cortisol awakening response can be an early indicator of autoimmune disease and testing can help you recognise and address it earlier in your patients
- And so much more!
