Welcome to another episode of the Dr. Lo Radio Show!

Kristy Crandell is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach with an advanced certification in hormone health. She works with Shine Natural Medicine and specializes in autoimmune disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, hormone imbalance and more! She takes a holistic approach with her patients, and believes every body is different, therefore requiring unique, customized treatments.

Kristy struggled with Rheumatoid Arthritis and was determined to take the Holistic/Functional Medicine approach, but was confronted by the fact that she may have to incorporate traditional Western Medicine in her journey.

After some relief, she came to the realization that there is a time and place for all medicine, but she believes even when taking a Western approach, nutrition should still be a priority to make a healing journey possible.

In this episode, Kristy talks about how her own journey led to her treating and healing numerous patients and gives a ton of tips for those listening!
