Rather than ask \u201cwhat drug should I use to treat the symptom?\u201d I ask \u201cwhat is causing the symptom in the first place?\u201d\nIn today\u2019s episode, I talk with Dr. Elizabeth Boham, Dr. Steven Phillips and Dana Parish, and Dhru Purohit about why it\u2019s important to thoroughly investigate to get to the root cause of symptoms.\nDr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA.
