Join me as I share my insights on supplements and functional medicine. Being a Physician Assistant in Western Medicine and Functional medicine, I have discovered how functional medicine can sometimes mirror Western medicine with its protocols and specific supplements for various conditions. However, I don't believe our bodies were designed to rely heavily on supplements. To me, it's crucial to address the root cause of health issues and do the inner work—this means making necessary lifestyle changes and nurturing a connection with God. I also encourage you to be aware of the limitations of methods and protocols that fail to consider the person as a whole.

Takeaways:

• Functional medicine can sometimes resemble Western medicine with protocols and specific supplements recommended for different conditions.
• Relying heavily on supplements is not how our bodies were designed to function.
• Addressing the root cause of health issues and doing the inner work, including making lifestyle changes and connecting with God, is essential for true healing.
• Methods and protocols that do not take into account the individual as a whole may not provide optimal results.
• Supplements should be used as a supplement to doing the work, rather than as a long-term solution.
