Functional Medicine and your Health
The premise of "healthcare" is all wrong. It's not healthcare, its really sick care. I believe if we understand what it is, we can better utilize the medical services with real perspective
Theory and knowledge are great, but when it comes to disease and health, our medical training tends to make disease management the goal and often the path to optimal health and wellness is overlooked.
This is a deep seeded problem in the medical system today.
My experience in navigating my life as a patient taught me just how much physicians don't know everything. They know disease management, not health management.
The fundamental flaw in medical system today is that it tends to be highly specific in focusing on the "disease" than what the root "cause" of the disease is.
So creating health is largely dependent on our lifestyle and it all begins with our mindset.
I share what the path to creating health looks like and you'll find that its so simple.
Living with a chronic condition like Lupus can give you some perspective. As a Clinician and a Patient for over 19 years, I've learned that we still have a limited understanding of our human biology.
The interconnections of complex systems in our body creates lots of variables that are highly individual for each patient.
I know for sure that knowledge of a disease is not enough to cure or heal patients. It's with compassion, empathy, and applied knowledge coupled with treating the "patient" is key in delivering exceptional healing experience.
Because healing is a journey for most of us with chronic conditions. There is no black and white answer.
In this podcast, I share my personal experiences and thoughts on what's worked, what hasn't, and insights on what's required for healing to take place.
And yes, healing and reversing disease is absolutely possible. Enjoy!
