I am all for the rise in functional medicine and the emphasis on prevention over the old model of solely treating issues once they arise but there's a trend amongst functional medicine I'm starting to be concerned about. What concerns me is some of the pages and pages of supplements costing hundreds of dollars for clients when their lifestyle practices haven't been fully addressed and optimized. Listen in as I explain more. Topics include:

- Lazy Functional Medicine

- Your Positive Association to Functional Over Western Medicine

- Seeing a Trend I’m Not a Fan Of

- Pages on Pages of Supplements

- Higher Demand for Functional Medicine Collaboration

- Adaptogen Example

- FNMS Program

- Metabolism School 101

- My Book Metabolism Made Simple
