Why is functional medicine different from traditional medicine?
No, traditional medicine is really about sick care. It's diagnosing and treating disease as opposed to the science of creating health. That's what functional medicine is. Instead, it reframes our whole perspective to get to root causes rather than just downstream symptoms. So medicine is sort of divided into specialties and different organs and different parts, but your body is one whole ecosystem. And now we begin to understand that and how things like environmental factors, toxins, our diet, stress, allergens, and so forth, interrupt our biology, or lack of certain things we need, like the right food, nutrients, amounts of hormones, light, air, water, sleep, connection, movement, all these things are ingredients for health.
So functional medicine's about identifying the root causes, which are the lack of things you need to thrive, and too much of the stuff that doesn't, your body doesn't like, whether it's heavy metals or whatever it is, and taking those away. And then your body has this natural intelligence and healing system that allows your body to repair, heal, and renew. And when you create health, disease goes away as a side effect. So functional medicine is really about this new paradigm of dealing with the body as an ecosystem, rather than going to a different doctor for every inch of your body. Yeah, it just makes sense. But it's not. It's not. It will be. It will be. It's coming. It's like, it's where the science is. It's where we're headed.
It takes a generation or two to change science.
I was doing some of these things like a year ago. I was getting my life in order physically and in every way. And the woman who was advising me was like, we should get you a test for the heavy metals in your body. And my doctor was like, no. He refused. It was actually something he would have had to order, I guess. And he's like, we're not doing that.
