Linking Stress and Inflammation to Chronic Disease

As a systems-based approach, the functional medicine model looks all facets of health; evaluating why disease occurs and uncovering what each patients needs to thrive. Over the past year, we’ve discussed how this personalized approach to dysfunction and disease makes a difference in clinical outcomes. On this special episode of Pathways to Well-Being, we’re revisiting some of the trending topics and highlights of 2024. From brain health and thyroid health, to Long COVID, menopause, the gut microbiome and beyond, we’ll explore how the core concepts of functional medicine, such as precision nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and honoring the patient's story, can impact these diverse areas of care because they make health goals achievable and sustainable long-term.
