Have you ever felt like you were doing *everything

Have you ever felt like you were doing *everything* right... but still knew something was missing?

That’s exactly what happened to Elena.

After making incredible progress with her gut health, she thought she’d found the root cause. But a metabolomics test revealed something her GI Map didn’t pick up: **Candida**.

Once she addressed it, she noticed even more improvements—proof that sometimes the next step isn’t doing more, it’s looking deeper.

Every test has strengths and limitations, which is why it’s so important to look at the full picture instead of relying on a single result.

If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s another piece to your health story, this episode is for you.

She was told birth control was the only answer.

She was told birth control was the only answer.

But instead of stopping there, she started asking why.

That question led her to uncover insulin resistance, Graves' disease, gut infections, and nutrient deficiencies. Revealing that healing meant looking beyond symptom management.

Every health journey is unique, but understanding the root causes behind symptoms can help guide more informed conversations about your health.

Have you ever felt like there had to be more to the story than the diagnosis you received?

NEW EPISODE: Journey to Thriving with Elena Genik

NEW EPISODE: Journey to Thriving with Elena Genik

Sometimes the biggest turning point in someone’s health journey isn’t a new diagnosis.

It’s realizing their symptoms aren’t random.

- Fatigue.

- Hormonal imbalances.

- Gut issues.

- Acne.

- Autoimmune disease.

They’re often connected by underlying imbalances that deserve a closer look.

In this episode of Table Talk, pharmacist Elena Genik shares how her own experience with PCOS (now PMOS), Graves’ disease, and thyroid eye disease led her to discover a different approach to healing.

Rather than accepting symptom management as the only option, she began asking deeper questions about what was driving those symptoms in the first place.

That’s the foundation of functional medicine.

Not replacing conventional care but expanding the conversation to better understand the whole person.

If you’ve ever felt like your body is trying to tell you something, this episode offers a thoughtful perspective on what it means to look beyond the diagnosis and begin addressing the root causes of illness.

Most of us have been taught that better health starts with eating healthier.

Buying organic.
Choosing cleaner products.
Taking the right supplements.

Those things can absolutely be part of the picture but they’re not the whole picture.

What often gets overlooked is how chronic stress changes the way our bodies function.

Over time, stress can deplete nutrients like B vitamins and magnesium, nutrients your body relies on for countless functions, including healthy detoxification. It can also influence digestion, hormone balance, sleep, and energy.

That’s why at PharmToTable, we believe health is about more than what’s on your plate or in your supplement cabinet.

It’s about supporting the foundations that allow your body to function well in the first place.
If you’re ready to start connecting the dots, we’d love to help.

Most thyroid conversations focus on the gland itse

Most thyroid conversations focus on the gland itself. But thyroid health is rarely that simple...

Your thyroid is part of a larger system, and factors like chronic stress, inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar imbalances, and liver function can all influence how well it works.

That’s why symptoms such as:
- Fatigue
- Brain fog
- Hair loss
- Constipation
- Feeling cold
- Unexplained weight changes
...don’t always have a straightforward answer.

Even when lab work falls within the “normal” range, your body may still be giving you important signals that deserve attention.

A root-cause approach looks beyond a single lab value and helps uncover what may be contributing to how you’re feeling.

If you’ve been told everything looks normal but you still don’t feel like yourself, you’re not alone.

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: The Hidden Drivers of Chronic Illn

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: The Hidden Drivers of Chronic Illness: Mold Toxicity, Infections & Root-Cause Healing with Dr. Liam Latouche

You shouldn’t have to fight your way through every day.

But for so many women, that’s exactly what happens.

You wake up tired.
Need caffeine just to function.
Forget words mid-sentence.
Feel overwhelmed by tasks that used to feel easy.
Push through the day anyway.

And then you’re told your labs look normal.

Maybe you’ve wondered if you’re just stressed.
Maybe you’ve blamed yourself for not exercising enough, eating perfectly, or getting enough sleep.

But what if your body has been trying to tell you something all along?

In this episode, Liam breaks down the reality of complex chronic illness and chronic fatigue. What it actually looks like, why it’s often missed, and why symptoms like brain fog, inflammation, digestive issues, pain, and exhaustion are rarely random.

Because when it comes to healing, the goal isn’t to chase symptoms.

It’s to understand the story they’re telling.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re doing all the “right” things but still don’t feel like yourself, this conversation offers a different perspective, one rooted in curiosity, connection, and getting to the why behind your symptoms.

You deserve more than being told everything is normal when you know something feels off.

So many women have been taught to approach health

So many women have been taught to approach health as a series of problems to solve.

Fix the fatigue.
Fix the bloating.
Fix the weight.
Fix the hormones.

But our bodies don’t work in isolated systems.

At PharmToTable, we believe one of the most powerful shifts you can make is to stop asking:

“What’s wrong with me?”

…and start asking:

“What might my body need?”

That simple shift changes everything.

Because lasting health isn’t built on doing more or trying harder. It’s built on understanding how your body works as a whole and supporting the foundations that allow it to thrive.

If you’ve been told that “everything looks normal” but you still don’t feel like yourself, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

That’s exactly why we created Foundations of Health, our FREE course designed to help you understand the core pillars of whole-body wellness, from nutrition and sleep to stress, movement, community, and the root-cause approach to health.

Comment FOUNDATIONS and we’ll send you the free course to help you start connecting the dots!

If you’ve ever thought... “I’m eating healthy. Why

If you’ve ever thought...
“I’m eating healthy. Why do I still feel so bad?”

You’re not alone.

Many women are doing all the “right” things and still struggling with fatigue, bloating, brain fog, cravings, poor sleep, or hormone changes.

The truth is, health is about more than what’s on your plate.

Your body has to be able to digest, absorb, and use the support you’re giving it.

And when life feels stressful, those systems don’t always function optimally.

This isn’t a sign that you’re failing.
It may be a sign that your body needs a different kind of support.

At PharmToTable, we believe symptoms are clues, not separate problems to fix one by one.

Because when we start connecting the dots, we can begin addressing what may be driving those symptoms in the first place.

So many of us are eating lunch while answering emails, driving, scrolling our phones, or thinking about the next thing on our to-do list.

Our bodies were never designed to be “on” all the time.

One of the simplest ways to support your health isn’t adding another supplement, it’s creating small moments that tell your body it can slow down.

Try this today:
> Before one meal, put your phone down.
> Take one slow, deep breath.
> Let your shoulders relax.

It may seem small, but these tiny signals can support the systems that help your body digest, repair, and recover. One slide from your presentation even calls breathing the easiest way to reduce stress in the body.

At PharmToTable, we believe healing isn’t built on perfection. It’s built on small, consistent habits that support your whole body.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything you’re supposed to do and still don’t feel like yourself...

You’re not alone.

Many women come to functional medicine after years of trying diets, supplements, medications, and wellness trends without getting the answers they’re looking for.

What often gets missed is that symptoms don’t happen in isolation.

A dysregulated nervous system, chronic stress, mold exposure, hidden infections, nutrient imbalances, and other root causes can all affect how your body responds to treatment.

That’s why functional medicine isn’t focused on chasing symptoms.

It’s focused on understanding the bigger picture and creating a personalized path to healing.

Your body isn’t working against you. It’s responding to something.
