Greetings All,
To start the new year I thought would encourage everyone to hear numerous world experts on the topic of functional medicine. Below is a link to a you tube video which is hosted by Dr. Hyman MD.
Dr. Hyman, M.D. recently completed and posted onto YouTube an 8 part series that looks to see how one can improve their brain and overall health by embracing key concepts of Functional Medicine. Dr. Hyman is an acknowledged world class expert on Functional Medicine and a multi time New York Times bestselling author.
Below is the link for Dr. Hyman’s first video of the series wherein he and other expert health practitioners review some of the fundamental differences between a traditional medical approach toward diagnosis and treatment – what one of the MD’s describe as “name it, blame it, tame it, prescription pad medicine”. The key goal of this is approach is typically to identify what the condition is so that a drug can be prescribed for the condition diagnosed. The Functional Medicine approach on the other hand focuses on why. Why does the condition/disease exist in this person? What systems are out of balances that have lead to the disease being established in this person?
The Functional Medicine approach is to identify systems that need to be supported with proper diet, exercise, better sleep, detoxification assistance, relaxation techniques and supplements. This enables the patient to move to a better state of health thereby allowing the person’s own body to do the repair and healing work that needs to be done. It makes for an excellent partner to the Chiropractic Neurology techniques that we employ whose focus is to improve your brain and nervous systems communication to your body and your body’s communication to your brain.
The video runs for just under an hour (58:37 minutes). It is excellent introduction to some of the specialized techniques and concepts we utilize to bring about our patients’ most rapid and cost effective healing, allowing them to get back to their optimal health. Please do view it and feel free to ask Dr. Bastomski any questions that you may have after viewing the video.
If you would like to discuss this further please email me or contact my office at 805-569-5000 to schedule an appointment.
Best wishes for a healthy and successful year ahead,
Dr.B
