Have you ever felt like stress was wrecking your health but couldn’t quite put your finger on why? That’s exactly what Claudine Francois experienced before she made a massive career shift—from CFO to functional medicine practitioner. I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with her on the podcast, and let me tell you, this conversation was eye-opening.
Claudine shared her personal health journey and how corporate stress took a major toll on her body. Like so many of us, she found that traditional medicine only addressed symptoms, not root causes. That’s what led her to functional medicine—an approach that looks at the body as a whole system rather than treating issues in isolation.
One of the most shocking things we talked about? Mold toxicity. It’s way more common than people realize and can silently wreak havoc on your health. Claudine explained how it’s often overlooked and how many people struggle with unexplained symptoms that could actually be traced back to mold exposure.
We also dove into the unique health challenges men and women face in midlife—especially how chronic stress affects women’s hormones, leading to stubborn weight gain, anxiety, and sleep issues. And here’s something I loved: Claudine doesn’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. She emphasized how personalized health strategies can make all the difference.
Another major takeaway? The everyday toxins we don’t even think about—like aluminum in cookware or hidden chemicals in household products—can contribute to long-term health issues. Making small lifestyle changes can have a huge impact over time.
The bottom line? Taking care of your health isn’t just about eating well and exercising—it’s about truly understanding your body, your stress levels, and what’s working against you. If you’ve ever felt stuck with unexplained health issues, Claudine’s insights might be exactly what you need to hear.
So, if you’re ready to stop guessing and start taking control of your health, this episode is a must-listen!
