I recently had Robert, who just completed his 4th year of medical school, shadowing in my office. Robert has also been fervently studying functional medicine and seemed to be quite taken with how we are doing things differently in my office than much of what his functional medicine education has taught. I thought it would be insightful to have him on the podcast to share what he had learned after a day in the office.

Today we speak with researcher and gastroenterologist Dr. Leonard Weinstock. We cover how SIBO can be the underlying cause of non-digestive issues like skin conditions, pain and others. We also cover his research and recommendations regarding low dose naltrexone for autoimmune conditions

Today we discuss what the most common causes and treatments are for fatigue with Dr Carri Drzyzga. We also take an interesting turn into brain health and brain autoimmunity’s role in fatigue.

Addressing hormonal imbalances is one of the most important actions a women can take towards well-being.  I have also found this to be one of the most effective treatments in the functional medicine arsenal.  Today we discuss hormones with gynecologist Dr. Anna Cabeca.
