Summary:
Dr. Cassie Smith and Erin Files discuss the challenges of traditional medicine and the importance of functional medicine in treating patients holistically. They emphasize the need to address the root causes of diseases and focus on lifestyle changes rather than relying solely on medications. The conversation highlights the role of education in empowering patients to take control of their health and make informed decisions. They also discuss the limitations of insurance companies in supporting functional medicine practices and the need for a shift towards a more patient-centered approach. In this conversation, Cassie and Erin discuss the importance of self-acceptance and self-talk, as well as the role of functional medicine in treating complex health conditions. They emphasize the need to meet patients where they are and provide individualized care. They also address common misconceptions about hormones and the use of fillers in individuals with autoimmune diseases. Erin introduces a new procedure called Beautifill, which uses the patient's own fat for facial rejuvenation. The conversation concludes with three health tips: the benefits of broccoli, the importance of exercise, and the impact of diet on overall health.
