I was struggling with endometriosis, since it runs in my family. I used to have very painful cramp during my period and sometimes during ovulation as well. When I went to my conventional PCP and OBGYN, I was told to just take birth control, and I remember thinking… is this really it? It didn’t feel right to just cover up my symptoms instead of understanding what my body was trying to tell me.
So I kept searching and found a functional medicine doctor who focused on root causes. For the first time, someone finally explained to me how stress, gut health, hormones, inflammation, and environmental toxins could all affect my conditions. That moment changed everything. It made me rethink not just my diagnosis, but the patterns I was seeing in my family’s health as well (diabetes, chronic kidney disease, high cholesterol, breast cancer, depression…the list goes on…)
That experience also made me reflect on how my own family, and so many others, are often told to simply cut carbs and take medication, yet they’re still tired, confused, and stuck. Because it’s not just about food. It is about how the body is functioning beneath the surface.
With conditions like Type 2 Diabetes, the real issue is how your body responds to food, stress, sleep, and daily habits. Focusing only on restriction may manage symptoms, but it doesn’t address the root causes like insulin resistance, chronic stress, and poor metabolic health.
Functional nutrition can help you uncover the root cause so you can truly heal, not just manage symptoms. If this resonates with you, fill out the application below to schedule your FREE Strategy Session with Sophie. → www.sophiehung.com/work-with-us

我一直飽受子宮內膜異位症的困擾, 因為我有家族遺傳史。我之前經期會經歷劇烈的經痛, 有時排卵期也會如此。我去看過普通的家庭醫生和婦產科醫生, 他們只會建議我服用避孕藥。當時我在想……難道就只有這些嗎？只是掩蓋症狀, 而不是去了解身體想告訴我什麼, 沒有其他方法嗎? 我覺得不太對勁。
所以我繼續尋找, 最後之後找到了一位專注於病因的功能醫學醫生。他第一次向我解釋了壓力, 腸道健康, 荷爾蒙, 發炎和環境毒素是如何影響我的病情的。那一刻徹底改變了我。它讓我重新思考的不僅是我的子宮內膜移位, 還有我觀察到的家族病史 (糖尿病, 慢性腎臟病, 高膽固醇, 乳癌, 憂鬱症…等等）。
這段經歷也讓我反思, 我的家人以及許多其他人常常被告知只需減少碳水攝取和服用藥物, 但他們仍然感到疲憊, 困惑和無助。因為這不僅關乎食物, 更關乎身體深層的運作機制。
對於像二型糖尿病這樣的疾病, 真正的問題在於身體如何應對食物, 壓力, 睡眠和日常習慣。僅僅限制飲食或許可以控制症狀, 但卻無法解決根本原因, 例如胰島素抗性, 慢性壓力和代謝紊亂。
