In this episode of the Woman Run Podcast, host Rickie Smith sits down with Meg Green, a Registered Dietitian and Integrated and Functional Nutrition Certified Practitioner. Meg shares her personal and professional evolution from working in pediatric oncology at St. Jude to launching her own virtual functional medicine practice.

Key Discussion Points:

• Meg’s Career Evolution: Her journey from clinical pediatrics to discovering functional medicine after facing her own undiagnosed autoimmune challenges.
• Functional vs. Traditional Medicine: Understanding the "root cause" approach to health—moving beyond masking symptoms to true healing.
• The Gap in Women’s Research: A look at why women were excluded from medical studies until 1993 and how that affects modern hormonal health.
• Hormonal Health & Perimenopause: Validating symptoms like brain fog, sleep disruptions, and fatigue that are often dismissed as "just stress".
• Building a Business: The challenges of moving from a medical mindset to an entrepreneurial one, and the importance of a support "village".
• The Power of Personalization: Why there is no such thing as a universal "superfood" and how bio-individuality dictates nutrition.
