r/FunctionalMedicine

Hi everyone, any thoughts on what additional testing to perform where the primary symptom is a constant zoned out/drugged feeling in the brain (alongside cognitive issues)? There is no change or pattern and it came on suddenly after food poisoning.

We've done all sorts of testing from GI scopes, stool samples, parasites, dysbiosis, SIBO, organic acids, brain MRIs/CTs, blood work, etc, and nothing of significance has come up...

I will readily compensate anyone that can find something that betters these symptoms.

Female, 31. Two kids 2 and 3 and I am just so done with getting enough sleep and just still not ready to tackle the day. Takes me like 1-3 hrs to even want to get up. I guess it’s called sleep inertia idkkkk I’m fairly healthy. Walk daily and try to not stress too much either so idk. I don’t drink or smoke. I just work and everyday is basically the same so

I'm looking for a practitioner (Cardiff area) but don't know what I'm looking for - we don't seem to have "functional medicine" practitioners. What's the name of what I'm after please??

I heard the claim from "skeptics". I don't trust them, but at the same time, I don't know if they're actually correct in this case.
