We need to identify the underlying dysfunction that's leading to the symptom, instead of what modern medicine does very well, which is, they say: well, we're going to name this problem, blame it for what's going on, and then we're going to tame it using a drug or a surgery.
Ever wondered what those tiny print side effects on your medication labels really mean? Dr. Lindsey Elmore, a board-certified pharmacist and functional medicine clinician, joins Dr. Joy Kong to shed light on this very topic. In this episode, Dr. Elmore dives into the often overlooked side effects of common medications and the importance of looking beyond just treating symptoms.
She shares her journey from traditional pharmacy to embracing integrative medicine, emphasizing the need to address underlying health issues rather than just masking them with drugs or surgeries. Dr. Elmore also highlights the potential dangers of some widely-used medications, such as metformin, and brings attention to the gender biases that exist in drug research. She stresses the significance of finding healthcare providers who genuinely care about individual patient needs and discusses how disruptions to our microbiome can impact overall health.
Listeners will gain valuable insights into alternative forms of medicine and the lost art of truly personalized care. Whether you're currently on medication or just curious about how different treatments affect your body, this episode offers a fresh perspective on managing your health more holistically.
