Every Symptom Has a Story | Helping You Understand What Your Body Has Been Trying to Tell You

Every Symptom Has a Story is a podcast for anyone who has ever wondered, "Why is my body doing this?"

Hosted by Wendy Handy, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, health consultant, and educator, this podcast helps make complex health understandable.

Each week, Wendy explores the connections between gut health, metabolism, hormones, inflammation, stress, sleep, brain health, and healthy aging through one simple philosophy:

Every symptom has a story. Every body leaves clues.

Rather than chasing symptoms, you'll learn how to better understand what your body has been trying to tell you—and how creating the right conditions can help your body move toward balance.

If you're ready to become your own best health advocate, you're in the right place.

Because understanding changes everything.
