Have you ever had your bloods come back "normal" while you still feel exhausted, foggy, bloated or just not yourself?
A lot of us push on, blame being busy, and decide that's just how we are now.
Naturopathic doctor Jarrod Cooper sees people like this every week, and he has a clear way of working out what's going on underneath.
In this episode, we sit down with Jarrod Cooper, naturopathic doctor, functional medicine practitioner, founder of Advanced Functional Medicine in Perth and author of The Healing Hierarchy, to unpack why so many people feel unwell with results that look fine on paper, and the order your body needs things fixed in so your efforts finally pay off.
We explore Jarrod's own health crash in his twenties, Scott's health journey as a patient at Jarrod's clinic, and how the gut, stress, blood sugar and hormones all connect.
Through powerful stories and real-life examples, we dive into:
- Why you can feel awful with blood tests in the "normal" range, and where those ranges came from
- The Healing Hierarchy: why the order you fix things in decides whether anything works
- How your gut shapes your mood and anxiety, and even how well Ozempic-type drugs work
- Why the probiotic from the chemist could be making your bloating worse
- What PMS, perimenopause and low testosterone have to do with your gut and stress levels
- Jarrod's take on breathwork, cold plunges and saunas, and why women might want a warmer ice bath
If you've been told everything looks fine and you know you don't feel fine, this conversation gives you a clear place to start.
