Summary
Chronic disease is rising at an alarming rate and the current healthcare model is failing us.
People are getting sicker with illnesses that are often preventable. But traditional medicine suppresses their symptoms instead of addressing the problems.
Chris Kresser, my guest in Episode 208, has a plan to help stop the crisis.
Chris is a globally recognized expert in functional medicine, Paleo nutrition and ancestral health. In his new book "Unconventional Medicine," he shows how combining proper diet and lifestyle with functional medicine can create a better healthcare model and provide more effective treatment to patients.
If you want to learn the most effective ways to prevent chronic disease and enjoy glowing health you won't want to miss this episode.
This episode is brought to you by Four Sigmatic, which I use daily. It's mushroom coffee made with the active ingredient, Lion's mane mushroom (also known as the "smart mushroom"). Lion's Mane has long been used by Buddhist monks for better focus during meditation for years. Four Sigmatic is gut friendly and great for those who get an upset stomach from regular coffee. It gets you cranked up for your day, but not jittery and anxiety-ridden because it contains less than half the caffeine of regular coffee. It comes in handy packets that you just mix with hot or cold water and takes just a second to prepare.
