After not having a doctor for over 10 years, I had a trauma and my newly acquired PCP instantly prescribed me to 3 antidepressants, 1 benzo, and my specialist also prescribed 2 additional anti acids. My second specialist prescribed 2 anti-inflammatory drugs. 8 medications added to my profile in a span of 2 months wrecked havoc. I’m about 9 months off of all of them rebuilding what was damaged. Holistic and functional medicine is how to heal. I have a ways to go but I’m happy that I’ve learned how I was poising my body and now I won’t do it again. I also was able to quit chewing tobacco as a result after a 8 year addiction. God is blessing me every day on my healing path
BEST APPROACH is always,,root level functional medicine,,,,,But after 40yrs of practice as a MD pediatrician in a small clinic,,,I feel,,it is a critical time for public to open eyes to such things..to watch many such world class talks on functional medicine.
Excellent! I have been saying the same all along. I just need to find a dedicated functional doctor like you here in Florida. Thank you Dr. Minni Malhotra! Dawn
So instead of actual research, what do you propose we read? Studies funded by homeopaths and essential oils salesman? People like you call every study that goes against your belief "big pharma" what a joke
Watching this in 2024 and thanking the Lord for His blessings thru Functional Medicine practices. I’m seeing more clearly why I love to hate and hate to love (modern) alopathic while loving and wanting to learn more about sharing successful experiences with others. I wholeheartedly believe in tracing the root causes of dis-ease in my life and even if that means becoming a functional and alternative medicine provider myself.
I’m all for functional medicine, but beware, they too are out for your money. I have lost so much money on it. Also not all of them agree on things. They make money off of selling supplements that you have no idea how your body will react to. Not to mention the thousands spent on tests that you don’t know if they are actually accurate. It’s a balance at the end of the day. The amount of attention needed for each patient is beyond what the average person can afford. It feels like we are sort of screwed.
The downside is, big pharma doesn't invest money in functional medicine studies, therefore most insurance doesn't cover it since it isn't 'well studied'.
The issue I am having with trying to deal with a FM practitioner is that their consultation rates are outrageous.. I can't find someone to go over some test results for under 300 bucks.. That's insane.. Doctors and lawyers don't even make that per hour
Not sure where you live, but I have found one who only charges $45 for the consultation and about $15-ish for each bottle of high quality herbal supplements. Out the door I'd only spent about $103.00 and he'd spent an entire hour of his time with me. Not all of them are in it for the money but actually want to help.
I’m a naturopathic medical student (4th year) and I reside in Canada. Typically the first consultation should be around 100, and it lasts for 45-1 hour.. however, if you have benefits most ND’s are covered under the alternative practitioners.
Yes, I am in this right now. When I lowered my A1c, (type 2 diabetic), to just passable, by using just diet. My doctor was outraged, and challenges me if I am seeing some other doctor...but does not say.." Hey, great, your almost there, now lets see how good we can get your numbers. " NO!: "Who is your doctor!!! Who is your doctor!! " ie: get back on the meds... and then gives me another prescription.. and then literally tell me to "shut up". It seems like there is little interest in healing, but instead, bullying to stay on high priced meds to satisfy the insurance companies pharmacy and kickbacks. So.. how do you spell " SPIDER"..or "SNAKE" ? OK, he offered me a chance to be trained to buy his special line of health pills for and extra $300 month beyond insurance payments..but I sense shakedown. Other doctors have told me that nutrition by food is better than nutrition by "pills" alone... or at least, pills must follow good nutrition, not try to replace it, ie: alla Michael Jackson. So I believe it is time for a change.. but seems no integral doctors nearby have insurance support, but why should they? I suspect that if a doctor in the USA today had a magic pill that would cure all illness, and offered it to all freely...such a doctor would wind up like the inventor of the diesel engine, who also wanted to offer it freely to all: floating beyond recognition in the North Sea, with his patents mysteriously transferred to military linked corporations. (History) Like Indy (Indiana Jones) said..kind of... "Gee... why does it have to be snakes...I just hate snakes!!!! Distraught by spiders and snakes RS
There is hope. In my country (Belgium, ranked much higher in health care than the US) politicians and profs nowadays are talking about healthcare that prevention must be ranked high in studies and can get more funding. This started bottom-up. E.g. school directors removing cola and energy drinks from their drinks dispenser. Supermarkets that don't put sweets near the checkout. Poor kids that get free meal in school refectory. Because our people asked for it so many prefer schools / supermarkets that do these things. They are not officially talking yet about functional medicine, but I think it's only a matter of time.

She’s a doctor who actually cares about healing, not about blindly following an incorrect curriculum built on studies funded by big pharma. Love it!
How can we study that?

Wow some real light this physician brought! We are in a healthcare crisis
Love this, brilliant woman! 👏🏻

Sad that there's quite literally a pay wall on health in the US

I just looked into a functional doctor here in canada, each appt is $1200 and the tests are $1000 to 10000 each. Thats insane money.

He/she would have been my former doctor before the end of that appointment.
