You’ve tried the social media thing before, and you know exactly how it goes. Your social media strategy for practitioners looks great on day one, you’re unstoppable for about six weeks, and then life happens and your last post starts to look like a time capsule. So you decide social media just doesn’t work for

You’re looking at a thyroid panel with a positive TPO, maybe a positive thyroglobulin antibody, maybe even a positive TSI, and the word Hashimoto’s is already rumbling around in your head. With a positive thyroid antibody, one practitioner might definitely call it Hashimoto’s, and another looks at the same panel and wonder if it might

Your patient is already convinced she has parasites. She saw a video on Instagram, bought the recommended product, and now you’re the one who needs to break the news that what she paid for might not work, even if she does have parasites.

You’ve likely used AI in your functional medicine practice to ask a specific patient question, and part of you is wondering if you did it the right way. Here’s the honest answer: probably not, and neither did I the first dozen times. The most dangerous AI answer in a clinical practice is never the obviously

Your patient is sitting across from you, unable to finish a sentence, waiting for a word that used to come easily. That is the perfect example of what lion’s mane mycelium and its compound, erinacine A were designed to do. You have already covered her diet, her stress load, and her sleep, but her brain

I’ve been doing this long enough to recognize the exact moment symptoms stop being one problem and start being four problems, all of them leading back to the same root cause. That’s exactly what CKM syndrome is – the new cardiovascular kidney metabolic syndrome, collectively approved by four major medical organizations. If you’ve got a
