An interview with Dr. Sunjya Schweig.\nLately I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about our complicated health care system and how confusing it is to find the right health care professional. Someone who listens, cares and digs deep to help you solve whatever\xa0health challenges you're facing. I\u2019m fascinated by the body of work that is called Functional Medicine because of its intention to explore the whole person and to get to the bottom of whatever it is that\u2019s causing our symptoms. Today we explore Functional Medicine in this interview with Sunjya Schweig \u2013 a Functional Medicine Doctor with over 25 years of experience. He's the\xa0Founder and President of the California Center for Functional Medicine.\xa0\nSo what is Functional medicine anyway? Sunjya says it starts with curiosity and collaboration.\xa0It involves getting to the root cause of whatever is bothering you. Functional medicine docs don\u2019t just prescribe something to alleviate a symptom. They are like forensic investigators\u2026and often it\u2019s\xa0surprisingly about\xa0the basics. What's the food you're eating? What's the water you're drinking? What's the quality of the air you're breathing? What's your stress exposure? What infections or microorganisms are you exposed to? For example, Hidden infections are a huge cause of gut and autoimmune issues.\xa0Functional Medicine is all about getting to the root of a tree, he says. There are lot\u2019s of gems in this discussion\u2026and it certainly was informative.\n\nResource: CCFMED.com\nAs always, we\u2019re Untangle, the podcast from Muse, the brain sensing headband dedicated to unlocking your brains potential AND Meditation Studio the five star app.\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
