Hi, I’m Gina Lockwood-Sheehan My introduction to Functional Medicine remains etched in my memory. I was dealing with two autoimmune diseases (Graves’ Disease and Sjogren’s Disease) along with complications of the liver, and their resulting symptoms concurrently. As a result, I was desperately in search of a natural way to cure these diseases. A low quality of life and a dependence on prescription medications would never be a path for me. It was disillusioning and disappointing to have conventional medicine physicians telling me, “There is nothing you can do. You have to accept this. Food will not make a difference. Stop researching. You are being irresponsible and reckless. It’s all in your head. You are making yourself worse, etc.” I recall leaving a specialist’s office and writing in my journal, “There is SOMETHING I can do!” I read that affirmation every morning and during days when my symptoms were most debilitating. Two years prior to this, I had tried working with a Chinese Medical doctor using Chinese herbs and acupuncture; and while some symptoms were alleviated and I was able to stop taking antibiotics and over the counter pain medication, it did not get to the root of my illnesses. I persevered, determined to not let my fears, or adhering to the status quo, define me. Intensive research led me to an interview with the Functional Medicine practitioner, Amy Myers. The interview entitled, “Why Western Medicine Gets Autoimmune Diseases All Wrong,” explored how Dr. Myers’ personal journey led her to practice Functional Medicine. Her story struck a personal chord on many levels and the empathetic connection I felt inspired me to learn as a much as possible about this profound approach to health and wellbeing. I immersed myself in her website and thoroughly researched the Institute of Functional Medicine, as well as other resources. At the time, I was not able to utilize Dr. Myers’ services in Texas and I could not find an FM practitioner in my community. Not letting any obstacles stand in my way, I began Dr. Myers’ Elimination Diet and Guide to The Gut eCourses. Acting as my own Functional Medicine Health Coach, I followed the course guidelines, all without assistance. In fact, no one in my social circle had even heard of Functional Medicine. Although some people were skeptical and concerned, I remained fully committed to my goal. Changing one’s diet, personal care, household products and more on one’s own is no easy task. About eight months later, almost all of my labs were in normal ranges, and I was essentially symptom free. Upon reflection, my health struggles opened the door to a new life, both personally and professionally. I am now a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and have the Reversing Cognitive Decline For Coaches: Bredesen Protocol Certification. My mission is to support as many people as possible in taking their life back.
