Functional Medicine considers all the possible root causes of symptoms and disease manifestations in order to apply the best possible treatment directly to what is causing the symptoms, as opposed to band-aiding the symptoms with prescription medications that do not treat, alter or eradicate the very root causes of symptom manifestation.
I had the honor and pleasure to have been invited as a guest on the popular and empowering podcast hosted by my dear colleague and friend, Catina Morrison. She is the Founder and CEO of Nurse Loves Essentials, a successful Chronic Illness Coach, blogger and host of the famous Inflamed Sisters Thriving Podcast.
We had a heart-to-heart conversation about the power of Integrative Medicine and what it can do to help women and men free themselves from the shackles of quality of life-altering symptoms of perimenopause, menopause and andropause.
We share tips on how to embrace a natural lifestyle, prioritize gut health, and treat chronic illness in a more holistic way. The idea is not to diss conventional medicine, but to integrate holistic and naturopathic medicine. We also discuss the difference between male and female physicians in treating women’s health issues.
