Root cause medicine is all the rage if you follow any functional medicine experts and while that is an important part of treating you as a whole, root causes are not the only thing we need to think about.  My guest on this episode, functional nutritionist Andrea Nakayama, so beautifully talks about the roots but also the branches, the various systems and terrains of our body and lifestyles. She also shares the developing science of omics, the reason some of us react differently to foods, medicines, supplements, viruses, etc. than someone else. Andrea also shares much of her journey with her own health as well as the loss of her husband and how her experiences with autoimmunity and her husband’s cancer have shaped the way she sees functional medicine and health.

Aging is a part of life, but our cells don’t always complete their normal life cycle so well due to a host of factors in our modern world. When cells don’t go through a healthy life cycle process they become what are called “zombie cells” - nonfunctional and unhelpful but still sucking up resources from the healthy cells around them. This process of senolysis can be aided by key ingredients found in Neurohacker’s amazing product: Qualia Senolytic. Clear out those dead cells and see your brain, skin and body come back alive.
