Have you been wondering about functional medicine – what is it and how does it differ from conventional medicine? Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the father of functional medicine, joins us today! We delve into the idea of the functions we all should have and be trying to maintain, and Dr. Bland shares his expansive view of health as being beyond the absence of disease. Our conversation wraps up with a powerful illustration of functional medicine at work, and Dr. Bland gives us all something to mull over ourselves!
