You're doing everything ”right” and you're still exhausted – and your labs came back ”normal.” This conversation is for you.
In this episode, Aimee Rickabus talks with Melanie Mancil – ”Nurse Mel,” RN, BSN, functional medicine specialist and founder of Twelve28 – about functional medicine for women and what conventional care keeps missing.
Mel shares:
– The health mystery that took her from RN to functional medicine
– Why ”normal” lab ranges fail so many women
– Hormones and perimenopause: why there's no one-size-fits-all
– How stress and cortisol drive the burnout cycle
– The honest truth about GLP-1s and peptides – powerful tools, not finish lines
Whether you're a busy mom, a founder, or just tired of being patted on the head at the doctor, this conversation will help you trust your own body again.
A note: Melanie speaks from clinical experience. Nothing here is medical advice; peptide, hormone, and prescription therapies should only be used with a qualified, licensed provider.
