339: Do You Really Need a Diagnosis?: The Pros, Cons, and In-Betweens of Getting Diagnosed with Alaura Grace

Sep 23, 2024
46:02

Alaura Grace is a Traditional Herbalist, Doula, Women’s Hormone Health Practitioner, and an advocate for holistic wellness. Alaura’s passion for helping people regain autonomy over their bodies comes from her deeply personal experience navigating the complex world of diagnosis and healing. After struggling to get answers for her own health issues—including a harrowing experience with an IUD insertion that led to pelvic inflammatory disease and chronic vaginal infections—Alaura dove into research and holistic practices that transformed her approach to wellness.

In this episode, Alaura and I explore the double-edged sword of getting a diagnosis and discuss how a diagnosis can bring clarity and validation, why it might not always solve the underlying problem, navigating uncertainty when you can’t find a diagnosis, managing the emotional toll of not having clear answers, what healing really looks like, a sustainable approach to wellness that embraces imperfection, and more. Enjoy the episode!
