It's time to elevate the functional medicine field
Can we be honest?
Much of the available functional medicine education is riddled with bias, watered-down science, and repeated half-truths. Much of what practitioners are taught is geared toward selling supplements or supporting some other agenda.
It's resulted in a confusing, frustrating experience for well-meaning practitioners and patients everywhere. The current approach - generic protocols, excessive supplements, and over-reliance on invalid testing - is not working. If it was, everyone would be successful.
But the truth is, they're not.
