Understanding Functional Medicine Through the Tree of Life with Norma Flood

Powered by RedCircle

Sometimes our body feels like a mystery. But what if we could see our health the way we see a tree — from the roots up? In this episode of Go With Your Gut, we explore functional medicine through a simple Tree of Life framework that makes sense of gut health, genetics, and daily lifestyle choices. I walk through how supportive and depleting “inputs” like food, sleep, stress, environment, and coping tools move through our unique trunk of genetics and microbiome, and eventually show up as symptoms in digestion, immunity, mood, skin, pain, energy, and even bone health. Together, we look at real-life stories from youth and families to show how gradual, doable changes can transform the whole system. Because when we start paying attention to the roots, the entire tree — and our quality of life — can begin to heal.
