Functional Medicine (video)


Deal with Causes Not Merely Symptoms!

Dr. Mark Hyman
Shift from what you have, to why.  Understand patterns and connections in your whole body system.  See how imbalances in your biologic systems impact your well-being.  Dr. Mark Hyman, speaking at TEDMD does a masterful job explaining the paradigm shift in medicine turning from diseases towards mechanisms.  This 21st century medicine considers underlying causes of disease – toxins, allergens, infections, nutrition, stress… along with medical history, personal genome, symptoms, biomarkers, lifestyle and environment. 

They all wash over our genome stimulating genetic expression causing system imbalances (immune, digestive, detoxification, energy metabolism, hormonal, structural, psycho-spiritual).  Check out this video along with Dr. Hyman’s other proactive videos and articles.
