In this groundbreaking episode, Dr. Michael and May Bagnell, IHP open the conversation on what it really means to live rooted in balance. This episode introduces a Functional Medicine framework that is transforming how people heal, restore energy, and regain control of their health. 

For too long, many have accepted that feeling “fine” is good enough — even when fatigue, brain fog, or recurring illness persist. But as Dr. Bagnell shares, “Your labs may look normal, but that doesn’t mean your body is functioning optimally.”  

This episode dives deep into: 

• What Functional Medicine truly is and why it’s life-changing
• The difference between symptom-based and systems-based care
• How root-cause healing uncovers what traditional medicine often misses
• The introduction of the D.E.S.T.R.E.S.S. Protocol — a framework that guides healing from the inside out
• The Big Five Labs — simple, at-home tests that reveal what your body’s really saying about your brain, hormones, gut, and overall health

 
You’ll also hear how Integrative Health Practitioner May Bagnell, IHP now brings this powerful approach to the Bagnell Brain Center, combining functional medicine with functional neurology — a partnership that’s helping clients reclaim energy, improve mood, sleep better, and feel vibrant again.


Highlighted Insights:

• “We’re not just treating symptoms. We’re decoding systems.”
• “Functional medicine is slower medicine — but it’s the kind that lasts.”
• “When you understand your body’s terrain, you can finally begin to heal.”
