Hi there. This is Dr. Jen Simmons of Real Health MD I'm a functional medicine physician, and when I tell people that I'm a functional medicine doctor, I get a lot of strange looks. So I wanted to talk today about what that means. Unlike traditional medicine, where you have to get sick, develop a symptom, get a diagnosis, and then you're given medicine or surgery in order to manage that symptom, functional medicine is the medicine of y. Why don't you have the health you want? And we help people to figure out what is going wrong, what they're getting that they don't need, what they're not getting that they need, and help them to restore their own health and wellness using food and nutrients and lifestyle. So I'm not an obesity doctor. I'm not a cardiologist. I'm not a depression or anxiety doctor. I'm not a cancer doctor, a digestive doctor, an autoimmune doctor. I'm a wellness doctor. So if you don't have the health that you want, find out what functional medicine can do for you.
