The Diagnosis is Just the Beginning- Now Let's Talk Healing- Episode 57
What if the label you're given is only part of the story?
In today’s episode, we take a step back from focusing on any one condition and instead dive into something deeper: the experience of receiving a diagnosis. Hosts Dr. Michael and May Bagnell explore the emotional journey that follows a diagnosis—how it can provide relief and clarity, but also lead to more questions, confusion, and even misdirection.
You'll hear:
Why some diagnoses take years and multiple doctors to get right
How modern medicine may miss the person in pursuit of the problem
The danger of treating a label instead of the root cause
What functional medicine and neurology offer that traditional models may overlook
Whether you’re navigating your own healing journey or supporting someone who is, this episode will challenge the way you think about health, identity, and the path forward.
A diagnosis is just the beginning. Let’s talk healing.
