About this listen
Are you taking your prescriptions faithfully but still feeling worse? Do your labs look “normal” while your body feels anything but?
In this episode, Karin Allumbaugh shares the functional medicine perspective on why so many chronic conditions aren’t healed by managing numbers alone. We walk through the three most prescribed medications in the U.S. — statins, metformin, and levothyroxine — and explain how they often silence symptoms without addressing the inflammation, gut issues, nutrient deficiencies, and stress driving disease underneath.
You’ll learn why cholesterol is often a messenger, why lowering blood sugar doesn’t always fix insulin resistance, and why thyroid meds may not resolve fatigue, brain fog, or weight gain.
This faith-centered conversation offers hope, clarity, and a root-cause path toward real healing — by partnering with how God designed the body to heal.
