What if your bloodwork says you’re “fine,” but your body tells a different story? In this episode of Kerouacs Cruising, Cara shares her raw health journey—hormone imbalances, adrenal fatigue, gut health struggles, and how functional medicine and self-love are helping her heal beyond surface-level “solutions.”

Cara opens up about elimination diets, trauma’s impact on health, and finding a doctor who finally listened. This is a story of hope, healing, and remembering you’re not alone.
