Hi there. It's Dr. Jan Simmons from Real HealthMD. If you're new to following me, I just wanted to reach out, say hello, say thank you for following me. And I wanted to talk to you a little bit about functional medicine. So I had spent the last 17 years as Philadelphia's top breast surgeon, and through my own journey, I learned about functional medicine. So functional medicine is the medicine of why. Why isn't your body doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing? And instead of managing symptoms, it helps to promote health. It's the medicine of prevention. It's the medicine of why. What do you what are you getting that you shouldn't be getting? But what are you not getting that you so need? Because we know that given the right things, given the right environment, given the right ingredients, your body will heal itself. So if you're new to functional medicine and you want to learn more, then keep it here.
