When I was a breast cancer surgeon one of the questions I frequently got was, “Why did I get breast cancer?” My answer was always that it was multifactorial… aka bad luck! It wasn’t until my own health diagnosis that I decided this answer was unacceptable and is what led me down the path of functional medicine. Today, I dive into what makes functional medicine different from conventional medicine!

You’ll hear more about:

My role as a breast cancer surgeon
What actually causes illness
How conventional medicine does NOT actually treat your illness
The 2 very different things each type of medicine focuses on
Optimal vs. normal
Extra, more personal steps functional medicine takes to understand your health as a whole
And more!
