Got it.

You talk about treating the whole person.

There it is.

What does that mean?

Like what happens in your office that doesn't happen anywhere else?

I only know one doctor who does all of those things.

including working out with the patients, teaching them how to sail on the surfboard, whatever that's called, check all their medications to see how they're interacting, looking at the blood work.

I know one doctor named Kenneth Spiel Vogel, and he works for us.

You're the only other doctor that does that type of thorough evaluation and treatment.

with an adult community uh integration program meaning i helped autistic adults date so basically exposure therapy is if you've got an agoraphobic someone who's afraid to leave the house okay then you'll make certain that you take them out of the house to give them exposure to the outside in little increments so that at some point they're like oh this isn't so bad

You have germophobia and you ended up in a strip club?

I did.

Yeah, that's bad.

Can you imagine Howie Mandel in a strip club?

Unfortunately, I can.

No disrespect to Howie Mandel.

Good for you.

You've got people out there saying functional medicine is BS.

What do you have to say to that?

Well, let me just go in there because I am a huge believer in functional medicine.
