Dr. Mark Hyman

There's a lot of apps out there you can do, but we'll put those in the show notes.

But there's a lot of ways to do this that are really important.

And it takes an active process.

You have to deliberately relax.

Okay, what about supplements?

Yes, I use supplements.

They are needed and they're essential if you're recovering.

They're individualized, so you want to talk to your doctor.

But in functional medicine, we use supplements, not as replacements, but to help optimize and encourage the body's own healing system.

For example, omega-3 is really important for inflammation and tissue repair.

Collagen formation requires vitamin C.

magnesium for muscle recovery, curcumin, which is an herb for inflammation.

Lots of good quality protein, like whey protein, can help repair our tissues.

Really important.

So I use proteolytic enzymes, for example.

When you have a sprain, there's a lot of things that can be helpful, but one of them is these enzymes that you can take that help break down some of the damaged tissues and clear the waste out of your system.

And I found those very helpful, and there's a bunch of research on them too.

sometimes you need help, right?

So you need professional help.

So I got help from people.
