Join us for an enlightening episode of Functional Medicine in Real Life, where we sit down with Barry Smeltzer, a renowned Functional Medicine PA, to discuss Environmental Medicine and how it plays a role in disease processes and symptoms. We also delve deep into the complexities of autism and its potential root causes. Barry brings his expertise to the table, shedding light on the rising prevalence of autism and exploring various environmental factors that might contribute to this phenomenon. Barry discusses the impact of environmental toxins such as 5G radiation, mold, herbicides, and pesticides on neurological development and breaks down the latest research and offers practical insights into how we can minimize these exposures in our daily lives. Moreover, we dive into the fascinating realm of low dose allergy therapy (LDA) and its potential benefits for individuals who are suffering from food allergies, eczema, asthma, autoimmune disease and other inflammatory symptoms. Barry unpacks the science behind LDA, and how it works to “re-write” the immune system. Whether you're a parent seeking answers, a healthcare professional exploring new avenues, or simply curious about Environmental Medicine, this episode promises valuable insights and actionable information.
