The interview

What health challenges were you facing before working with Shae?

Before working with Shae, I was kind of battling a lot of symptoms, no doctors really knew what was going on. I was diagnosed with everything under the sun from fibromyalgia to IBS, I was dealing with chronic anxiety and headaches, and hormonal issues.

Why did you choose to work with Shae specifically?

It was nice to actually work with someone who is also female who understands the things that we go through and who also actually went through it. Shae also has a story of her own, a success story, so she actually has empathy and she knows how it feels. On top of that, she's just really knowledgeable.

What specific health benefits have you achieved?

In general, just everything improved. I'm not suffering from migraines anymore, I'm not having major mood swings, and my skin cleared up which I'm happy about because I always had issues with acne. The pain from the fibromyalgia that I was experiencing every day is no longer an issue and I lost like 15 pounds just from doing all these things.

How has your digestive health changed?

I'm most excited about fixing my digestive health; I always struggled with that and heartburn and just having nausea all the time. Her focusing at first on just fixing my gut really, really helped and it improved everything. Now I can enjoy food more.

How has your mental health and daily life improved?

Just being able to focus and be present daily for my family and not be in a constant brain fog and lack of sleep. My mental health is better because I was dealing with all the anxiety; now my nervous system is in a more calm state and I just feel at peace now.

What makes Shae's approach different from other practitioners?

She's really trying to get to the root cause so she's not trying to just stick a band-aid on all your symptoms and issues like how most doctors or most functional medicine practitioners would do. All the things that she teaches you are things that you can easily put into practice every day.

What was your experience with the team and community support?

I would just want to thank Shae and also Rachel who helps Shae has been also a blessing to me. Meeting with them weekly or monthly and just being able to jump in on calls that talk about different topics that all us women deal with on the daily was so helpful and comforting.
