In this episode of The Realtor Who Wines, Rashelle Newmyer sits down with Stacy Marie Ronquillo NP, founder of Remedy Functional Medicine, for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what it means to truly get to the root of your health concerns. Too many people walk away from traditional care feeling dismissed, whether it’s being told “it’s just menopause,” avoiding conversations about gut health or sex because it feels uncomfortable, or being brushed off with a quick “Band-Aid” fix. Stacy is changing that experience by building relationships with her patients, giving them time to be heard, and creating space to talk about everything from poop to hormones without embarrassment.

Stacy explains why so many women who feel “off” are not crazy at all, often it’s hormones or gut health, and there is something that can be done about it. She shares how functional medicine addresses these issues at the root, often making more progress in just a handful of visits than people see after years of rushed PCP appointments. We talk candidly about cost and why there can be some sticker shock, but Stacy breaks down the amount of time, attention, and behind-the-scenes work that goes into each patient’s care. Even providers like Stacy pay out of pocket to see their own practitioners because they know good medicine takes time and expertise.

This episode also explores why prioritizing your health is worth the investment, sometimes even more important than that car payment, and how a few focused visits can significantly shift the trajectory of your well-being. Stacy shares her own story of challenging assumptions, including a memorable moment when she questioned my supposed “allergy” to vitamin B and opened the door to a much bigger conversation about the importance of accurate, individualized care.

We wrap with a look at her upcoming clinician education course, which teaches other providers how to bring accessible, evidence-based functional medicine to their patients. And of course, we keep it real with laughter, stories from the ER, and a toast to finding care that actually listens.

If you’ve ever felt rushed, unheard, or brushed off in the traditional healthcare system, this conversation will give you permission to advocate for yourself and hope that better care is possible.
