"When You Get To the Root You Can Pull Out the Weeds"In the premiere episode of Healing. Power. Growth., Blaire Baron introduces herself to her audience. She discusses a very painful 20+ year relationship & journey with chronic pain, gut issues and food allergies/sensitivities, and a relentless battle with toxic self talk & self limiting beliefs that left her feeling paralyzed, living small, and made it difficult to feel truly happy. She felt isolated and overwhelmed - knowing there was something wrong in her body, but the tests did not show anything conclusive.Hitting rock bottom was the catalyst for Blaire diving head first into scientific research and lifestyle medicine, hunting for answers that the top traditional medical doctors and diagnostics could not provide. Does this feel familiar?
