Every individual is unique; the way we eat, how our brain functions, our likes, dislikes, and the way in which our body responds to specific medical treatments. Knowing your priorities and what works well with their body prior to embarking on seeking out medical treatment is a seemingly intuitive approach. However, our current healthcare system has not been designed to adequately support each individual and their unique needs. It uses a one-size-fits-all approach. This can lead to the worsening of one’s symptoms as well as the associated frustration of finding a diagnosis. Deepa Kaanan believes that there is an imminent need to individualize the patient-care model and she tackles this issue through her functional medicine company Phytothrive.

Deepa began her journey with her brand when she began to feel frustrated with her own health journey. Despite conducting lab work and speaking with several doctors, she was unable to find a diagnosis for her own ailments. This experience propelled her to become a champion for a more individualized and balanced approach to wellness. Deepa is renowned for her work in this field, and her articles have been shared by the father of functional medicine, Dr. Mark Hyman. Join us on this week’s episode as we speak to Deepa about her masterful understanding of human anatomy to offer true bio-individual mind, body, and spirit remedies.
