Functional Medicine Doc Talk

Cancer is a complex disease with many facets linked to genetics, abnormal cellular mechanisms, environmental exposures, etc. A key element in cancer prevention is diet, and in many situations, cancer can be helped with improved nutrition. The problem is there is no one established diet for all types of cancer, but there are nutritional and lifestyle approaches that can be helpful for many individuals in general. In this podcast Dr. Woeller interviews Christina Santini who is a clinical nutritionist and dietician.

In this episode Dr. Woeller interviews Lynn Weber, CHC about her journey through mold exposure, regaining and maintaining good health, and steps to take for home mold detection and remediation. Here is Lynn’s statement and short bio:

 "I am Lynn Weber, a holistic health coach who earned my certification from IIN in 2013. Like many people, my desire to help others came out of my own health journey, which began more than a decade earlier. At that time, I was raising two young children and was desperately seeking natural healthcare options to combat a genetic threat—heart disease. Little did I know it would take decades to unravel all the possible “players” and a few unexpected roadblocks. Through the process, I uncovered complications from previously treated health issues and some unsuspected ones. With a long record of dental problems, I assumed this would be my biggest obstacle. However, mounting evidence led me to a different conclusion. When I hit a point where nothing seemed to be moving the needle, I decided it was time to stop resisting the facts. All things pointed to mold. I will share why it is important to keep an open mind when seeking optimal health. Sometimes the less obvious path is the one that will give you the biggest results."

In this Functional Medicine Doc Talk podcast Dr. Woeller interviews Melissa Smith, MSN, CPNP, PMHS, a functional and integrative medicine pediatric nurse practitioner with specialization in PANS and PANDAS. Here is Melissa's description of her training and experience: "I graduated with a BSN in nursing from Michigan State University. In my first few years out of school, I gained clinical experience in the emergency room, intensive care, and primary care. I quickly discovered that pediatrics was my passion and, in 2014, graduated as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner from Augusta University. Upon graduation, I went to work in private practice, treating children from birth to age 21. Through my own research and watching my mom walk her cancer journey, I began to see a very different picture of health and healing. It became clear to me that, while the allopathic model of medicine has its strengths, it also sometimes fails to see patients as more than the symptoms they present with. It fails to see that what we put in, on, and around our body can have a significant impact on our overall health. I came to understand that to truly heal patients we, as practitioners, must listen intently, consider the bigger picture, and dig deeper to find and investigate root causes. Thus began my interest and study of integrative medicine. Through one-on-one mentoring with highly credentialed functional medicine doctors, as well as additional education in functional lab work and nutritional therapy, I bring a specialized skill set to children struggling with autoimmune and other hard-to-treat disorders. As a practitioner, I am also passionate about mental health. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, I began seeing an explosion of depression and anxiety among my pediatric patients.  To better help these patients, I sought to expand my knowledge base through certification as a pediatric mental health specialist. It is my hope that I’ll be able to combine this knowledge with an integrative approach to help more children achieve optimal health in body, mind, and spirit."
