Jennifer M. asked:Not a slam on the medical community, insurance or any other bandwagon I know it is easy to jump on. Just a simple dream: I dream of a day that my chiropractor, dentist, neurologist, doctor and massage therapist can all sit in on one conversation and completely un-fuck the pain that dominates my left side from the base of my skull to my shoulder up into my ear and jaw and provides me lovely services like vertigo and migraines. Someday.Bryan R. replied:Functionalmedicine.org

Aaron S. asked:Hey guys, long story short, I have been going to a doctor for some issues and I'm not very happy with them. They have over prescribed expensive tests and treated me like I don't know my own symptoms or body. So my question is, does anyone have a good GP (that takes blue cross insurance) in or around the area? I need someone I can build a trusting relationship with and any referrals are way more helpful than my insurance provider app. Thanks!
Jessica E. replied:I haven't done this yet, but you might want to research a Functional Medicine doctor. They are more open to alternative treatment options and have more of a focus on nutrition and lifestyle. https://www.functionalmedicine.org/

Lisa G. asked:Have any of you heard of "functional medicine", or even better seen a functional medicine doctor? I have just found one, but he is over an hour away, wondering if it would be worth it. Haven't had much luck finding someone who knows what they're doing to help with this deficiency!Rich B. replied:Definition from The Institute of Functional Medicine: Functional Medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. It is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21 st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, Functional Medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Functional Medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, Functional Medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual. My own definition: Mainstream medicine focuses on research approved by the FDA. Sadly, the ultra high cost of FDA oversight means that only pharmaceuticals with huge sales potential go through the approval process. This leaves out thousands of non-traditional treatments that may (or may not) be better than a pharmaceutical solution. Functional Medicine embraces all forms of treatment and prevention including the pharmaceutical approach but making sure to include diet, herbs, essential oils, and various lifestyle factors. The Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM) is the clearinghouse for this knowledge and Dr. Mark Hyman is their most prolific and visible spokesperson. Dr. Hyman has many videos on YouTube and I urge you to watch as many as you can to understand the IFM approach to health and wellness. Lisa Kathryn Brown Geiger You asked if it would be worth it to drive to an IFM practitioner. My opinion is a definite YES. See this link. https://www.functionalmedicine.org/

Tania B. asked:Savannah friends, anyone recommend an Endocrinologist in the area? I'm a bit "crunchie" - I take natural thyroid medicine so someone who is open minded would be a plus :)
Angie K. replied:And if you do have Hashimoto's going gluten free is hands down a good first move. But you still want to work with an integrative or fx med practitioner to ensure comprehensive treatment. You can search on www.functionalmedicine.org...Good luck!

Susan B. asked:Local friends - anyone know a holistic nutritionist in the Greenville area? I desperately need help designing a blended diet for Rebekah. All her formula has corn syrup and her conditions warrant a strict diet with little carbs/sugar. Getting no help from the GI office nutritionist who thinks her formula is the best thing. I really need help designing something that gets her what she needs nutritionally without being gridlocked into the food pyramid.

Spencer N. asked:What would be a fair price to consult with me for an hour? 99$ ? 199$ ? etc This would include looking at past medical problems/labs and current medications and then giving report to bring back to your current doctor for possible recommendations. No diagnosing or "treating" / prescribing of course :)Dan K. replied:there are only 300 Functional Medicine MD/DOs in the US. The few I know have huge practices and waitlists. www.functionalmedicine.org

Corinne W. asked:Visited a Functional GP yesterday who dissed methylation saying there is not enough science. I was gobsmacked as I feel so much better since having my profile done and taking supps that I need especially b12. He wanted to do an array of tests (on my partner not me) which would cost over $1000 . It is so frustrating.. I am not an expert, but I do like to be in control of our health, we need a GP to monitor, but finding one is just ridiculous. My question today is what does it mean to have high active b12? cheers... ps shouldnt all doctors be "functional"?Victoria S. replied:No, not all docs are trained or qualified in Functional Medicine, although many claim to be. Check www.functionalmedicine.org to find a listing of those with proper training. Sorry you had a negative experience with someone who clearly wants to use the title without putting in the work. He doesn't have a clue.

Michele B. asked:Where do you all go to buy or have a heavy metals test performed? I've come across some websites...is there really a legitimate one that works/accurate that test it off urine? Or should I ask a naturopathic doc?Jae-Elle S. replied:Detox should always be supervised by someone with a license; please please find a good doc! I only say this because there are massive risks with chelation/removal and if there's damage, it's usually neurological and it's PERMANENT. There's a lot of p rep work involved to do it safely. It can be done, though! Find someone near you at functionalmedicine.org and call them and ask questions like have they been through the detox training and how often do they work with patients on this issue. Good luck!! :))
