Dr. Christian Jenski is a conventionally trained emergency room physician who has made the huge leap to functional and precision medicine. Many of you will remember him from a prior episode where we discussed the clinical application of functional medicine testing and he offered his real-world examples and testimonials showcasing the power of root-cause medicine. Due to overwhelming feedback from listeners, both clinicians and patients alike, Dr. Jenski is back!
Today we focus on the core principle that ‘all disease begins in the gut.’ Dr. Jenski discusses the way GI abnormalities can underlie many, if not all, chronic health conditions, what to look for on a stool test, and why you should care.
