The Power of Functional Medicine Interconnectedness

First I have to thank you for your web talk today. You are so energetic and I can tell that you really enjoy doing what you do. So encouraging and inspirational. I love that you stress the basics first and not to jump into something specific. I also loved that you stress listening instead of always speaking. Most of the time the client will give you answers to questions before you even ask them. I have been a RN for 27 years and now into health coaching. I have seen our “healthcare crisis” for too long. It extends to everyone and everywhere. Its very difficult to treat the end stage disease. We have to focus on healing and teaching people to care about and for themselves and their loved ones. I myself have many allergies and have been working on my diet and health for many years. I also had to watch my mother in law get very ill and pass away from the end stage organ failure as a result of having Diabetes and not taking care of herself. She was just 70 years old. She would still be with us had she taken care of herself all those… Read more »

Thank you so much Tracy. I am in love with functional medicine, the pearl today was to learn more about the side effects of medications in the body. Warfarin can cause calcification of arteries after long term use. Happy New Year! Hugs from Massachusetts! ????????????

Your pearls are always jam packed and I can’t get enough of them!! How important to remember the basics when we feel overwhelmed or not knowing where to start because the obvious to us may not be obvious to others! I love the reminder to ask clients questions and see what their awareness/intuition is telling them. What do they know about what is going on for them and their bodies? Thank you so much for being willing to be different and generous in sharing all of this information with us! How does it get any better?

I loved everything you talked about today! It was complete confirmation for me! First, you confirmed things I know I need to do for myself like take my own advice and de-stress, get more rest and many things will fall into place. Second that I’m on track with others and third, I need this course! So I signed up and I cannot wait to start and deepen my knowledge so that I can better help my clients! So good! Thank you for sharing so many of your “pearls” with us!

I watched this twice! Imagine! Interconnectedness being a thing! I still can’t figure out how our western medicine has become so compartmentalized. Little to no true investigation for root cause, throwing medications at symptoms, and the untoward effects of this. I learned such a wonderful biggest of info on insulin that has never been taught or presented like this in nursing school. I’ve learned so much already just listening to these videos, it has me craving more! The gut, inflammation and pain….I see this every day! I work in psychiatry and have become so disillusioned with the whole practice, medications…with most of my patients having such poor nutrition, lack of knowledge, enormous medical problems and the plethora of medications they take, I begin to feel like I’m fighting a fire with a glass of water. So much going on, not a lot of time to investigate and lack of education and engagement from patients. To learn how to assess from a functional medicine perspective seems like the way to go, the only way to go. I think this is how western medicine model needs to be taught!

Wow! I love every video and webinar that you have! I love the pearls and learn so much every time Iisten! I can’t wait for the one on Tuesday!

As a Nurse Practitioner, I have recently started to consider the transition to Functional Medicine. I find each day I become increasingly interested in treating the root cause of medical conditions and diseases. I recently spoke with someone who completely the school of applied functional medicine and now works closely with Tracy. She suggested I look further into the school and I sure am glad I watched this video. There wasn’t a part of this video that didn’t spark some sort of interest in me. From the information on diabetes to the value of sleep and diet to stress reduction. Diabetes is SO much more than just a numbers game. It’s also amazing the effect that gut health can have on everything. I also learned the importance of taking a complete history which is so important when trying to treat someone and to help get to the root of their problem. I have over and over again seen medications and treatments recommended that don’t address the underlying issue but instead serve as a bandaid and lead to other problems. I think functional medicine is the way of the future. As I spoke about with Jodi, your passion for what you… Read more »

I found it all very interesting and a reiteration of my IIN studies as well as my own studies since my course ended. I am very interested in the digestive enzyme info as I have been studying them in regards to helping cancer patients. I have been following Dr. Nicolas Gonzales on the subject for some time now. And I was also interested in the information about the thyroid as I myself have just had to conquer Graves Disease and wound up realizing hiw much more stress causes problems then I originally realized. Overall awesome info makes me want to learn more and more!

This was a very informative session and especially love the simple language Tracey used. Several things resonated with me however it is clear to hear from someone of Tracey’s experience what the 3 main root causes of disease are: crap food, stress and toxins. So simple and so true. I wish more education was available in schools for the young people to understand that they need to take better care of themselves. Thank you again!
