Dr. Maggie Yu MD, IFMCP is a highly respected family practice and certified functional medicine physician who graduated from UCLA School of Medicine and has been practicing for over 25 years. She developed her own mystery autoimmune symptoms postpartum and then, at the age of 36, was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. She personally suffered from a range of chronic conditions, including fibromyalgia, early menopause, Hashimoto’s, chronic pain, depression, TMJ, and Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder. However, she was able to completely reverse her symptoms through a combination of hard work, years of additional training, and her medical expertise. Her Transform Protocol is an online autoimmune & chronic disease program that comprehensively addresses the root cause and triggers of disease. → Connect with Dr. Maggie: https://drmaggieyu.com/team/ → Get her book: https://www.8outofthebox.com/ ▶️Do you live in Indiana?
