Today we sit down with doctor of natural medicine, chiropractor, clinical nutritionist, and author\xa0Dr. Josh Axe to discuss some of the most pressing medical questions about functional medicine, birth control, and infertility. How does functional medicine differ from conventional medicine, and why is it preferred? What diseases can be treated by functional medicine, and how does it work? How can we combat declining fertility rates? What impact does hormonal birth control have on the body, and how can it be treated? Plus, Dr. Axe gives supplement and treatment recommendations for a variety of health problems.\n\n---\n\nTimecodes:\n\n(01:30) Functional / natural medicine\n(04:30) Hypothyroidism\n(07:25) Herbal medicine & pharma\n(12:30) Side effects & being informed\n(22:13) Birth control\n(27:03) Breast implant illness\n(35:00) Infertility\n(38:34) Immune systems & getting sick\n(44:55) Is dirt bad?\n(47:10) Cold plunges, red light therapy, & circadian rhythm\n(52:00) Lowering stress levels\n(55:35) General diet advice\n(1:02:16) Dr. Axe\u2019s #1 health tip\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\nA\u2019del \u2014 Try A'del's hand-crafted, artisan, small-batch cosmetics and use promo code ALLIE 25% off your first time purchase at AdelNaturalCosmetics.com\n\nWe Heart Nutrition \u2014 nourish your body with research-backed ingredients in your vitamins at\xa0WeHeartNutrition.com\xa0and use promo code ALLIE for 20% off.\n\nJase Medical \u2014 get up to a year\u2019s worth of many of your prescription medications delivered in advance.\xa0Go to\xa0JaseMedical.com\xa0today and use promo code \u201cALLIE".\n\nMy Patriot Supply \u2014 prepare yourself for anything with long-term emergency food storage.
