Betty Murray, PhD - The Functional Medicine Practitioner

Sugar Solved Podcast

Betty Murray, PhD-Candidate, MS, CN, IFMCP is passionate about transforming the lives of women who struggle with menopausal weight gain, insomnia, and fatigue. After witnessing firsthand through working with thousands of women across the U.S. and abroad, Betty observed that women (herself included) often wait to live the life they want until after they “fix” the things about our body that they don’t like – their weight, shape or clothing size. She found that when she helped women balance their hormones and reclaim their power, they become unstoppable. Her transformative The Coming Into Our Own Project is a lifestyle brand designed to empower and enrich women’s lives so that they can be the empowered leaders, woman, mother, sister, daughter, and partner they want to be so they can live their legacy.

Betty’s interest in nutrition and functional medicine came from her own health struggles. In her early 30s, Betty was diagnosed with colitis. She just knew there was more she could do to get to the root of her disease! Betty’s tenacity led to a 20+ year educational journey that included immersion into the world of nutrition, biochemistry, and functional medicine that has become the backbone of her approach to restoring health.

Betty was honored to be among the first 300 Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner with the Institute for Functional Medicine in 2014. Betty holds a Master of Science in Human Nutrition and Biochemistry from American Health Sciences University, a Master of Science in Integrative & Functional Nutrition from Saybrook University and is currently a PhD-Candidate at Saybrook University where she is researching the complex interaction of women’s sex hormones and IBS. She is a member of the American Nutrition Association and the Institute for Functional Medicine.

Betty is also the founder and CEO of the Living Well Dallas Functional Medicine Center, a premier integrative multi-specialty functional medicine medical center in 2004. She had a vision of creating a center where medicine together with nutrition, counseling, health coaching and other mind-body treatments work together in partnership to not only treat illness, but also help support patients in preventing and reversing disease. Betty has helped tens of thousands of women and men reverse chronic symptoms, regain their health and transform their lives.

Betty is the host of This Functional Life podcast and is a frequently featured nutrition expert on National Fox News Broadcasting, CW33, NBC and CBS. Betty has lectured at leading conferences, including as a Keynote speaker at The Go Red Campaign, C300 Women's conference, and SHEICon2017.
In this jam-packed episode, we dive into the science behind chronic disease, genetics, metabolism, and hormones.
