Short interview excerpt in which Dr. Jessica Peatross argues that conventional medical doctors need a perspective shift to embrace functional medicine: instead of assuming the body is 'sick and wrong' and requires pharmaceuticals, clinicians should 'believe patients over papers,' recognize the body as always trying to warn us, and find greater professional reward by helping patients through functional approaches. The clip advocates trusting patient experience over solely relying on papers/studies and reframing the clinician role as listening to the body's intelligence.

That's the perspective change that when these medical doctors start coming, getting fed up of the system, and they really, you know, we've all went in to help people. We all took an oath to help people. That's all why we went at it. And so when they start waking up and realizing that in functional medicine, you actually feel more rewarded in your career because you're actually helping people and they want to come over, that's the perspective change that they're going to need to have is not that the body is sick and wrong all the time, and we have to give it the pharmaceuticals because, you know, it has a pharmaceutical deficiency. It's that the body is always correct and always trying to warn us, and it's smarter than all of us doctors. And when they get that and they start believing people over papers, then things will start to change, in my opinion.
