About this episode

Bria Gadd interviews Emily Jacobson about her health struggles with fatigue and inflammation despite healthy habits.

Even as a practitioner… she couldn’t get to the bottom of her own health struggles. In this episode, I sit down with my client and fellow practitioner, Emily Jacobson, to unpack what happens when even the most knowledgeable women feel stuck in their bodies. We talk about her experience navigating intense fatigue, digestive issues, and inflammation despite doing all the “healthy” things and why that wasn’t enough. You’ll hear how functional testing, root-cause work, hormone support, and peptides all played a role in her healing, plus the mindset shifts she had to make along the way. Most importantly, we get into the truth many practitioners don’t say out loud: you can’t always see or fix everything on your own. Tune in to hear what finally changed everything for her.
