2: The Difference In Addressing Breast Cancer; Functional Medicine versus Conventional Medicine
About this episode
When I was a breast cancer surgeon one of the questions I frequently got was, “Why did I get breast cancer?” My answer was always that it was multifactorial… aka bad luck! It wasn’t until my own health diagnosis that I decided this answer was unacceptable and is what led me down the path of functional medicine. Today, I dive into what makes functional medicine different from conventional medicine!
You’ll hear more about:
- My role as a breast cancer surgeon
- What actually causes illness
- How conventional medicine does NOT actually treat your illness
- The 2 very different things each type of medicine focuses on
- Optimal vs. normal
- Extra, more personal steps functional medicine takes to understand your health as a whole
- And more!
