Learn how pro-inflammatory foods and stress can lower your hormone levels, and get a blueprint for your health in this episode!

My guest is Stephanie Gray, DNP, ARNP, who practices functional medicine and is the author of the book “Your Longevity Blueprint: Building a Healthier Body Through Functional Medicine.” Functional medicine looks at the root cause of illness, and focuses on prevention, rather than a “band-aid” solution to health issues.
