Dr. Brady is also one of the foremost authorities on properly diagnosing and treating fibromyalgia, he has been featured in top popular media including Dr. Oz, ELLE and NPR. His latest Amazon best-selling book, The Fibro-Fix, was published by Rodale and released in July of 2016. In today's episode we discuss the complex topic of metabolomics, genomics and all the other omics. Dr. Brady will explain how this information can provide a way to analyze someone's unique physiology and personalize their care.


What You Will Learn:

1. How Dr. Brady’s passion for finding the answers to his mom’s cancer diagnosis led him down non-conventional approaches. Today, Dr. Brady is an international expert in some of the hardest to treat chronic diseases, including fibromyalgia and Myalgia encephalomyelitis/Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).

2. The power of the therapeutic relationship and the importance of a physician to be open- minded and seek solutions for their patient.

3. What “omics” medicine is and how it personalizes and tailors medicine. Dr. Brady reviews how it differs from diagnosing pathologies from traditional labs.

4. The difference between analyzing a gene variation, a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism), such as MTHFR, in genomics and using metabolomics.

5. What is hypervigilance and how metabolomics can determine which are the best supplements to take based on various stress markers.

6. How essential oils can impact metabolomics and hypervigilance.

7. How essential oils are underutilized and understudied in functional and integrative medicine and why we should use them more for the full healing power they have.

8. The importance of “omic” testing and why one may want to consider it over just treating symptoms.

9. How to look for a reputable lab and why split sampling isn’t the best way to assess the accuracy of a lab.

10. The Fibro-Fix book.

11. Dr. Brady’s favorite oils (citrus) and how they uplift mood and can help with focus.
