Summary
On today's episode I'm chatting with Dr. Gabrielle Francis, The Herban Alchemist, a functional medicine doctor who’s been a leader in this field for years. She used to tour with major rock bands, so her naturopathic practice focuses on balancing the challenges of modern day indulgences. We talk about holistic medicine - what it is, and why it has recently gained popularity. We also get into health concerns like leaky gut, inflammation and hormonal maladies. For each of these health issues, Dr. G shares tips and harm reduction techniques.
We also discuss wellness trends like CBD oil and activated charcoal. Dr. G is unlike any holistic doctor you’ve heard from. Because she’s had experience working with rock stars, she helps people figure out a realistic wellness plan for them instead of prescribing a super restricted style of living. It’s been one of the most interesting episodes I’ve recorded to date.
