Dr. Tony Hampton: Heal the Root Cause, Don't Just Push Drugs - #88

Dr. Tony Hampton believes that the key to healing lies in addressing the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms. This involves knowing the true state of his patients - physically, emotionally, and even mentally. With his NEST and ROPE approach, Dr. Hampton can identify the root cause of his patient's health issues and create a plan that works for them.

In this episode, Dr. Hampton emphasizes the importance of eating healthy proteins and fats, why medication should only be a temporary fix while patients work on making lifestyle changes, and the future of medicine through better education. As a big believer in lifestyle medicine and integrative approaches, he wants to see more clinicians educated on how to improve patient outcomes. With his holistic approach to healthcare, he truly is on his way to changing the medical landscape to benefit patients.

To learn more about him, watch this episode of Dr. Hampton's podcast, inspired by Dr. Westman's Doctors Listen Up video. He explains why all doctors should feel confident suggesting the ketogenic diet to their patients.

Get to know our guest
Dr. Hampton is a board-certified family physician who incorporates nutrition into his approach to healing. He's part of Advocate Health, the fifth-largest nonprofit integrated health system in the U.S.

"There's way more people of color who are not metabolically healthy. So, we have a little bit of an obligation to save the system, money to save the patient money by healing them, and then they won't have to spend a lot of money on medicines and procedures and surgeries and of course, we save money on food if we just tweak it and show them how to do it the right way."
