The Healing Benefits of Functional Medicine

Dr. Jyothi Rao, an integrative medicine physician, discusses her journey into medicine and the shift from traditional Western medicine to functional medicine. She emphasizes the importance of healing and addressing the root cause of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. 

 

Dr. Rao explains the difference between functional and traditional medicine, highlighting the personalized and comprehensive approach of functional medicine. She also addresses the misconceptions around hormone replacement therapy during perimenopause and menopause, emphasizing the importance of individualized treatment and considering the risks and benefits. 

 

Key Takeaways

• Functional medicine focuses on healing and addressing the root cause of health issues.
• Hormone replacement therapy during perimenopause and menopause should be individualized and consider the risks and benefits.
• The gut-brain connection is crucial for overall health; emotions and trauma can impact the nervous system.
• Addressing trauma and using tools and techniques to restore balance can support healing and well-being. Events in the world and personal traumas can trigger fear and a lack of control, leading to a heightened stress response.
• Election results and the COVID-19 pandemic have significantly impacted people's immune systems, resulting in worsened health conditions.
• Techniques such as EMDR, tapping, energy medicine, and limbic system reset courses have been effective in healing trauma and reducing stress.
• Finding what works for each individual is key, as not every tool or technique will work for everyone.
• Functional medicine and integrative approaches are becoming more accessible, providing a holistic and personalized approach to healing.
