This week, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. David Bilstrom! Dr. Bilstrom shared his transition from a rehabilitation physician to a functional medicine practitioner and explained how functional medicine seeks to identify the root causes of chronic health issues, offering a more holistic approach to treatment.

He highlights the immune system's role in autoimmune diseases and underscored the importance of focusing on gut health as a key factor for overall well-being. Dr. Bilstrom also pointed out the effects of vitamin D deficiency and the significant influence of the gut microbiome on various health aspects. Furthermore, he explored the impact of epigenetics on health and the possibilities for anti-aging breakthroughs. Lastly, Dr. Bilstrom stressed the importance of central mechanisms, such as epigenetics and protein folding, in improving health and reversing chronic conditions.

Takeaways

• Microbiome mapping and addressing chronic infections are crucial for understanding overall health.
• Optimizing the gut and addressing leaky gut can have a significant impact on inflammation and the immune system.
• Addressing hormonal imbalances can lead to significant improvements in energy, mood, and overall well-being.
• Epigenetics plays a central role in health, and understanding gene expression can help optimize overall wellness.
• Advancements in anti-aging focus on optimizing central mechanisms, such as epigenetics and protein folding.
