In today's episode of the Balancing Chaos Podcast, Kelley sits down to dive deep with functional nutritionist Andrea Nakayama. Her goal is to pioneer the movement to transform healthcare into a system that WORKS. Andrea knows that a functional nutrition approach is the answer to our healthcare crisis, both for individuals and for society at large. Her method involves understanding the mechanisms that led to chronic disease in an individual; to uncover how and why that unique body has reacted as it has; to look at the evidence that familial history, lifestyle choices, and circumstances amass to become underlying physical factors of disease and distress; to reveal the biological tipping point that manifests as signs, symptoms and diagnoses; and to find and use the appropriate diet and lifestyle modifications that could actually help the chronically ill person get better.
In this episode, Kelley and Andrea explore the gaps in the medical system when it comes to treating individuals as whole people rather than just their diagnoses. Together, they emphasize the importance of recognizing that doctors have limited medical training and may not have all the answers when it comes to alternative treatments such as a customized nutrition approach. Through their conversation you will learn the three roots of chronic disease, the problem with trendy diets and why they don't work, the circle of influence around inflammation, what your bowel movements have to say about your health, and SO much more!
