007. Is THIS The Future of Healthcare?
Today we're diving into something that is transforming healthcare as we know it - why functional medicine isn't just a trend, but actually the future of healthcare.
While conventional medicine often focuses on treating symptoms with medication, functional medicine seeks to uncover and address the root cause of disease. In this episode, we reveal why functional medicine is more than just theory - and how it's already changing lives for the better all over the world.
Rachel reveals the life-changing diagnosis that she received that encouraged her to push deeper into medicine, and how her patient work at Baylor began fanning the flames of functional medicine as the clearest path forward for true, lasting change. Rachel's experience didn't just change her life for the better - it encouraged her to branch out into founding her own practice at Rachel Scheer Nutrition, changing the lives of every patient she's worked with since.
Functional medicine isn't just theory - it's proven, practical science that's more effective at preventing disease than simply treating the symptoms like we've been taught to with conventional methods.
Four Key Takeaways this Week:
- How Functional Medicine Differs from Conventional Theory
- Why Functional Medicine is More Effective Than A Symptoms-Based Approach to Healing
- Rachel's Personal Testimony to the Power of Lasting Change
- Where Healthcare is Headed in the Future, and how Functional Medicine is Changing Everything
