    Sarah Bofinger: Swimmer, Triathlete, Trainer, and Coach
    Today on Cannabis Confidential Dr. Dina is joined by Sarah Bofinger. Sarah Bofinger is a swimmer, a triathlete, a trainer, and a coach. She was born with hip dysplasia. After having arthritis and hip pain for years mostly affected by changes in the weather, she began to experience her worst pain yet in December of 2013. After experiencing such great pain, Sarah went to see an orthopedic physician to try to find a solution. He took some x-rays and told her she was fine, leaving her with unanswered questions about her pain and weather she should be taking anything for it. Her frustration began to grow now that she was taking all kinds of over-the-counter medications and prescriptions to try to help her arthritis and hip pain. A few months later she was invited to a seminar for fitness professionals on integrative wellness and how it can help with sports performance and physical recovery. The doctor at the event helped her learn about all the different natural supplements I could be taking to reduce her inflammation. The event was hosted by Nava Health and Vitality Center. Sarah started out taking the nutraceuticals and supplements, which were all made of natural ingredients, that were meant to help with inflammation, and began to feel a little better. She moved on to try out therapies including Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, IV Micronutrient Therapy, Massage Therapy, and Chiropractic Therapy. After trying out so many different ways to find out the source of her pain, she found that she is very allergic to both dairy and gluten. Sarah learned from her Nutrition Expert at Nava, that this could also be reason for her hip inflammation and pain, random stomach aches, acne, and low energy level. She has since cut both dairy and gluten out of her diet and feels great.
