Functional Medicine Stories with Mariya and Diane

What happens when healthcare professionals become patients themselves?

In this special episode of Table Talk, Melody sits down with PharmToTable pharmacists Dr. Mariya and Diane to share the personal health journeys that led them into the world of functional and integrative medicine. From insulin resistance and blood sugar dysregulation to postpartum autoimmune disease, both providers reveal how their own experiences challenged what they thought they knew about health—and ultimately transformed the way they care for patients today.

Together, they discuss the importance of addressing root causes, advocating for yourself in the healthcare system, and finding the balance between conventional medicine and lifestyle-based interventions. Whether you’re struggling with chronic symptoms, feeling dismissed by the healthcare system, or simply looking to optimize your health, this conversation offers practical insights and hope.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can reveal hidden blood sugar issues
• Why insulin resistance is a major driver of chronic disease
• The connection between autoimmune conditions, gut health, and inflammation
• Why healing is rarely a quick fix—and what realistic progress looks like
• How lifestyle medicine and pharmaceuticals can work together
• The importance of becoming an active participant in your health journey

At PharmToTable, we help patients uncover the root causes of chronic symptoms through functional and integrative medicine. Our team of pharmacists works alongside patients to create personalized plans focused on nutrition, lifestyle, gut health, metabolic health, and long-term wellness.
