Are you using Functional Medicine to get well? Working with a practitioner who takes the time to review your lifestyle and food, and run better labs that give deeper insights? Do you and your provider have the same point of view - that everything you do, your living environment, your genetics, your emotions and your Microbiome all affect you? In this podcast with Susan Blum, MD our topic is using Functional Medicine to get well. We talk about genetics, Nature and Nurture, elimination diets, the power of Silence, and that keyword - inflammation. Whether your practitioner calls themselves Functional, Integrative, Holistic or Naturopathic, the goal is to change your future as well as your present.  Topics we cover in this Primal Diet - Modern Health podcast  WHY is my issue occurring and what can be done to fix the cause, not the symptom?
