What my son taught me about true healing (and what I wish I'd known 20 years ago)

On the 5th anniversary of this podcast, I'm revisiting my eye-opening conversation with functional medicine expert, Dr Sarah Davies.
You'll hear me share what my younger son suffered as a little boy. Year after year, he was put on increasing amounts of medication that didn't cure him. That's because the experts in charge of his care had no understanding of the role of gut health. His story now drives me to help other families who are feeling helpless.
You'll hear us discuss:
- The body's innate wisdom and ability to heal itself.
- Why our current medical system is failing patients by not treating the root cause of chronic conditions.
- How a functional medicine approach is reversing conditions that are deemed to be untreatable.
You can hear the full story of what happened to my son in episode 59 of this podcast, "The Medicine of Miracles", with Dr. Mark Hyman. Find it here.
Dr Sarah Davies is founder of Functional Nexus and is a passionate educator of both patients and practitioners. You can learn more about her practice here.
