Internal medicine physician Sally Daganzo discusses her article "How functional medicine fills the gaps left by conventional care." Sally explains how a systems-based, evidence-informed approach can uncover root causes of complex conditions like fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, digestive issues, and eating disorders, especially when standard lab tests and specialist visits fail to provide answers. She highlights how functional medicine complements conventional care by considering factors such as nutrition, sleep, inflammation, microbiome health, and environmental stressors. Listeners will gain practical insights into how functional medicine reconnects doctors with clinical reasoning, expands treatment tools, and helps patients find healing when traditional approaches leave them feeling dismissed or "treatment-resistant."
