On today's episode of the Real Foodology podcast.

So that's in a nutshell of functional medicine, it's evidence-based alternative medicine

Hi, guys.

Welcome back to another episode of the Real Foodology Podcast.

I am your host, Courtney Swan.

I am the creator behind Real Foodology,

which is, of course, this podcast. But it actually started out as a food blog when I was getting my
