S2 Ep32: How can functional and integrative medicine help me through a cancer diagnosis? - Dr Nina Fuller-Shavel

The field of functional and integrative medicine is becoming increasingly recognised by the mainstream. If you haven't come across these areas, then this is the podcast episode for you.

Dr Nina Fuller-Shavel is my guest today. She is an integrative medicine practitioner, who initially trained as a natural scientist and then entered medicine. She became slightly disillusioned by how very disease centric medicine is and she realised that the other areas of nutrition, health and wellbeing of patients were not being addressed adequately.

Her diagnosis of breast cancer in her early 30s became the catalyst of her entering this field. We talked about the differences between functional and integrative medicine, and how the two complement each other. She explains why she feels modern medicine as it currently stands is not equipped in dealing with the person holistically and what needs to be done to change that.

It was a great conversation which you will enjoy.
