Functional Medicine Bitesized Unraveling Healthcare's Hidden Truths: A Deep Dive with Rob Verkerk on Science, Politics, and Personal Resilience
In this latest episode of Functional Medicine Bitesized I enjoyed a fascinating conversation with Rob Verkerk whom I first made a connection with through the IFM and have now known for 20 years. We discuss a lot in this conversation including the evolution of functional medicine and the importance of integrating physical and ecological aspects of health.
Rob, a health ecologist with a background in ecology and agricultural sustainability, emphasizes the need for a holistic approach to health, including diet, exercise, and stress management. We discuss the over-reliance on patented pharmaceuticals and the suppression of natural health solutions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rob highlights the importance of self-healing and reconnecting with natural systems and we also delve into the impact of corporate and government influence on healthcare policies and the need for transparency and informed consent.
In 2002 Rob established the Alliance for Natural Health as a non-profit organisation to essentially do his life's work.
This is another conversation not to be missed.
