Don’t Settle: Summary
In “Don’t Settle”, Kristy Roderick shared her personal journey towards functional medicine. Despite being trained and working as a registered nurse, she experienced a range of health problems which the conventional medical system failed to adequately address. Included in these were the challenges she faced after undergoing breast augmentation surgery – something she believes resulted in numerous health issues. Furthermore, she shared anecdotes about coping with ADHD and IBS and how the typical treatments were not improving her symptoms.
Roderick also diverged her process of transitioning from the patient’s role to becoming an FDN practitioner. She touched on her growing curiosity about diet and started exploring the paleo and vegan diets, which would eventually lead her to the functional health space. Upon getting results from implementing changes, she decided to take the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition course to help others navigate the healthcare system, pushing people to question their diagnoses and seek alternative treatments.
In the final part, Roderick emphasized the importance of patient empowerment. She stressed the indispensability of advocating for oneself when dealing with health care practitioners, opting not to accept diagnoses without question. By learning to voice their concerns and ask their doctors questions, patients can regain authority in their health. She also shared the rewarding experience of seeing her clients make consistent improvements in their health.
