Exploring the Synergy of Aesthetic and Functional Medicine: A Conversation with Dr. Lauren Fitzgerald and Jessica Christy, PA-C

In this episode of Curated Beauty our guest is Dr. Lauren Fitzgerald. She is a functional medicine doctor who’s on a mission to help women optimize their health—and avoid getting stuck in a medical system that keeps people sick. She’s in the business of helping people get healthy, happy, and feeling beautiful from the inside-out.

Your body is your home, so investing in your health is incredibly important. There are so many baseline health aspects that are free to take advantage of, such as sleep. Getting exercise, as simple as walking, is also a great place to start. Showing up for the little things on a regular basis is what pays off in the long term.

There are also things you can use to jumpstart getting to your goals. Peptides can be powerful tools to push you towards greater wellness. Hormone replacement therapy may also be another option, especially if you’re a woman going through menopause. There might be an easy solution to your suffering, so don’t be afraid to seek support.

Dr. Fitzgerald has treated over 1,000 people in her weight loss program. She encourages her patients to drink lots of water, especially if they’re on semaglutide. All people looking to optimize their health should try and hit a daily protein intake goal. Living a healthy lifestyle is an incredible gift you can give yourself and share with your family too.

Whenever you’re making a change, the fear of the unknown can be overwhelming. Don’t let it hold you back. Dr. Fitzgerald would love to bring together like-minded providers so together they can help make tools for health more accessible. A significant part of being happy is being healthy, and she sees herself being a part of that change in the world.
