#92 - Dr. Lisa Koche | Breaking Through the Traditional Medical Conundrum

Episode #92 Dr. Lisa Koche was saved by traditional medicine when she was diagnosed with leukemia as a teenager. After having her first child, her health took another hit and she developed recurrent sinusitis, psoriasis, and Hashimotos thyroiditis. Turning to traditional medicine again to heal, nothing she tried made her feel any better. Left with no answers as to why she was feeling so bad, she decided to go out and find them herself. She started attending seminars and got board certified in anti-aging and functional medicine and taught herself nutrition.  As her own quest for optimal health continues she has created a village of healers in all of the modalities that have truly helped heal her. She is the medical director and founder of Spectra Wellness Solutions, a comprehensive clinic focusing on all aspects needed for total body healing including the ketogenic diet, hormone replacement therapies, and enhancing mitochondrial function. In this episode of What the Fat, we chat about her personal health journey, traditional and integrative medicine, and some of the unique therapies her team provides at the clinic.   Enjoy the show!   Takeaways   Dr. Koche is triple boarded in Internal Medicine, Bariatrics, and Anti-Aging and Regenerative medicine. Ever since her own exposure to the medical field due to childhood leukemia and heart failure from chemo, she has been focused on finding the CAUSE of issues instead of treating the symptoms. She is the medical director and founder of Spectra Wellness Solutions, a comprehensive clinic focusing on all aspects needed for total body healing including the ketogenic diet, hormone replacement therapies, and enhancing mitochondrial function. In this episode we chat about her personal health journey and the amazing therapies she provides at her clinic from nutritional IV’s to Light Therapy.   Links and Resources Dr. Lisa Koche Instagram Dr. Lisa Koche Facebook Dr. Lisa Koche's Book: Get Lit  Spectra Wellness Solutions   Show Notes:   1:40 Battling Leukemia, Sinusitis, Psoriasis, and Hashimotos Thyroiditis 7:30 How Dr. Lisa Keeps So Positive - Music, Meditation, Exercise, Self Love, Visualization  10:50 Benefits of Nutritional IV’s 13:40 Mitochondria and the Keto Diet, Oxygen Therapy, Detoxification, Inferred Saunas, Red Light Therapy, and the LIT Bed  19:09  A Typical Day of Eating For Dr. Lisa 22:05 How Dr. Lisa Helps Patients Transition Into Keto 25:40 What Inspired Dr. Lisa to Write Her Book 28:16 Trends to Come in Health 30:20 How to Have a Conversation With Your Medical Doctor About Keto   Tweetables   “The way that we live now is not what this body was made to handle”   “In our life we are expected to do everything and be everyone”   “It’s a collaboration between doctor, patient, and healer and the more we talk and share the better”   “I knew I was going to be ok, even though it was rough”   “Every time something came up I knew there was a higher purpose”   If you like today’s episode, subscribe on Apple Podcasts at What The Fat and leave us a 5-star, positive review.
