The following podcast is a DR Media Production.

How do you, here's what I'm always fascinated by, obviously I feel like I'm going to make

a statement and you can agree or have a better opinion, but I think a big part of functional

medicine is acknowledging that out-tight stressors in your life have a very negative impact

on your body and your function, correct, and so beyond eating right and, you know, preventative

medicine, like all those stressors need to be managed in order to be a fully functioning

person.

Absolutely.

I mean, it's both physiological and psychological stressors.

So as far as like the response, the stress response, if you actually look at the hormones

or the what's called the neuroaminoendocrine system, then the intersection between your

nervous system, your immune system, i.e. inflammation, and endocrine, your hormone system, whether

it's a physiological stressor, like an underlying gut problem or a food that doesn't love

you back or whatever, we deal with mold toxicity or environmental toxins, like that stuff's

going to impact stress in the body, a stress response, just as much and sometimes more,

sometimes less.

A component is this psychological, the mental, emotional, spiritual stressors, like I'm

result trauma or someone's like situational, like their job or their relationships will

impact your biochemistry, will impact that neuroaminoendocrine system just as much as a physiological

stuff.

So it has to be both and not either or approach and clinically when we deal with both

and that's how we get patients better.
