Evolutionary Medicine: Part 1 with Dr Mark Donohoe

Published: Oct. 25, 2020, 1 p.m.

How do we determine\xa0when intervention is necessary in our\xa0health and wellbeing\xa0treatment strategy?\xa0In our quest to conquer pathological processes, are we overlooking the fundamentals within\xa0evolutionary biology and thus potentially doing a disservice to our patient's health?\xa0\n\n In today's podcast, part one\xa0of a\xa0three part interview series,\xa0Dr Mark Donohoe\xa0explains the concept of evolutionary medicine and the adaptive response. Mark illustrates how our adaptation response may lead\xa0to disease and dysfunction but that equally, there is\xa0value in\xa0looking beyond symptoms to discover the \u201cwhy\u201d of illness and how we may work in with it, rather than against it.\xa0\n\n Find today's transcript and show notes here: https://www.fxmedicine.com.au/podcast/evolutionary-medicine-part-1-dr-mark-donohoe\n\n\n *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.
