From Traditional Nursing to Holistic Wellness: Summary
From Traditional Nursing to Holistic Wellness features Elizabeth Taylor, a former nurse who transitioned to a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner after experiencing her own family’s health challenges. She details her journey from traditional sick care to alternative health options, emphasizing the limitations she found within the conventional medical system. Elizabeth now focuses on helping overwhelmed women uncover the hidden causes of their health issues using functional lab tests to address imbalances at their root, empowering clients to regain energy, balance, and confidence.
Elizabeth shares how her personal experiences, including her children’s health struggles and her own hormonal imbalances and skin conditions, propelled her towards holistic wellness. She narrates specific instances, such as using chiropractic care for her infant when conventional medicine failed and discovering through functional lab tests that many of her issues stemmed from gut and hormone imbalances. Her approach is deeply rooted in addressing the body’s innate ability to heal itself by tackling the underlying causes of health issues.
The discussion also covers Elizabeth’s transition to full-time FDN practice and her experience in business development, including marketing herself primarily through social media and personal referrals. She emphasizes the importance of being one’s own healthcare advocate, particularly for those who feel unheard or invalidated by the conventional medical system. Elizabeth offers practical advice and insights for others looking to make similar career transitions while balancing family life.
