Polypharmacy, Chronic Disease, and the Functional Medicine Solution In this very first episode of Functional Medicine with Dr. Var, we explore one of the most urgent problems in modern healthcare: polypharmacy—the use of five or more medications at once. Rates of polypharmacy have doubled in the last two decades, and with them come increased risks of side effects, complications, and even death. But the real question is why so many people are getting sicker at younger ages—and what we can do about it. As a double board-certified family medicine/obesity medicine physician with additional training in functional/integrative medicine, Dr. Var unpacks: Statistics on number of prescriptions prescribed and how rates have gone up and doesn't always equal better health What is Functional Medicine and the six core systems functional medicine evaluates (gut health, mitochondria, toxins, inflammation/immune, cardiometabolic health, and hormones) Why integrating functional, integrative, lifestyle, and conventional medicine offers the best chance for long-term healing This episode is both a wake-up call and a roadmap. You’ll learn what functional medicine really is, how it differs from conventional medicine, and why asking deeper “root cause” questions is essential to reclaiming your health. 👉 Subscribe now so you don’t miss future episodes on gut health, inflammation, hormones, and practical daily wellness habits. 👉Subscribe to my other social media https://www.youtube.com/@drvarfunctionalmedicine https://www.tiktok.com/@dr..var https://www.instagram.com/functionalmedicinewithdrvar/?hl=en 🎁 Download my FREE Gut Health Restoration Guide: https://varsha-nagarsenker.mykajabi.com/5r-gut-freebie 🎁 Download my FREE Cortisol Reset Habit Tracker: https://varsha-nagarsenker.mykajabi.com/cortisol-reset-habit-tracker Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.
