Health for your soul:
In this article you will learn:

Lazy Reader’s Section:
Functional medicine is an umbrella perspective that considers health from a holistic, integrated perspective and evaluates all natural possibilities for preventative treatment and maintenance of optimal health, rather than waiting for disease to happen. If disease is present, functional medicine will approach the problem by supporting the body to heal itself wherever possible and minimize the collateral damage from drugs and medications.
I discuss this perspective at great length, as well as the resources mentioned here, in my book, Dance Your Way Through Life where I share over 1500+ scientific references, action plans and everything there is to know about health. It also comes with 30 minutes with yours truly to clarify your goals and set an action plan to kick ass, so go check it out.
Finally, if you want to include me as part of your functional health team, don’t be afraid to reach out.
