This is such a fun and informative conversation with Dr. Mescon aka Mackie. She’s a Doctor who practices Naturopathic Functional Medicine. Naturopathy is based on the theory that disease can be successfully treated or prevented without the use of drugs, by techniques such as diet and exercise. And functional medicine is a systems biology based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. She talks about how she got started on this path, the balance of eastern and western medicine, the role stress plays in disease and so much more. I’m really grateful to help bring more awareness to this type of medicine.
