How Healing Starts by Slowing Down | Dr. Emily's Functional Medicine Story | Push Pause to Heal

What if healing from chronic illness starts not by doing more — but by slowing down? In this first episode of Push Pause to Heal, Dr. Emily Roedersheimer shares the personal journey that transformed her health and her career. Diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis at age 10, she spent years managing symptoms before discovering functional medicine and the powerful role stress and lifestyle play in healing. Dr. Emily introduces the core philosophy behind this show: root-cause healing, the body's innate ability to repair, and the impact of small, intentional pauses in a busy, high-pressure world. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why treating symptoms alone never leads to true healing • How functional medicine looks for root causes of chronic illness • Why women in particular are prone to burnout and nervous system dysregulation • The two paradigm shifts that changed everything for Dr. Emily If you're a woman dealing with fatigue, autoimmune disease, chronic illness, or burnout — and you feel like you've tried everything — this show is for you. 🌿 Subscribe to Push Pause to Heal for new episodes every week.
