Dr. Christian Jenski is a conventionally trained emergency room physician who has made the huge leap to functional medicine. In addition to running a burgeoning practice in Richmond, VA, he keeps his skills sharp by simultaneously working shifts in a busy ER. This gives him unparalleled insight into the way conventional and functional medicine can complement each other. In fact, he believes it has made him a better ER physician.
