#27 Functional Lab Testing, Mineral Balance & The Importance of Mindset with Sara Korzeniewski

Inflammation within the gut can increase cortisol levels, which can inhibit the conversion from T4 to the active thyroid hormone T3. It can also increase reverse T3 levels, which is totally inactive.

Sara Korzeniewski is a registered dietitian and functional diagnostic nutrition practitioner.  She suffered with hormone and digestive symptoms for years with little recommendations for relief.  Being in the wellness field she knew there had to be more going on and was determined to find a solution.  She started studying functional medical nutrition therapy and through functional lab work, nutrition, and lifestyle was finally able to find a long term answers to her symptoms.  Now she helps busy women dig to the root cause of their health issues.  Using proper testing, science based education, and lots of support, she empowers women to take back their health and gain back energy and vitality!
