0:00.0	Today on the root cause medicine podcast. I know that we have an overload of information. The first thing I would say, and probably the most important thing, is to understand the science of how nervous system dysregulation leads to chronic symptoms, understanding the science of cell danger response, the science of polyvagal theory, the science of limbic system impairment, the science behind

0:29.7	you're going to have a paradigm shift of what's actually happening in your body. And that alone,
0:35.4	I have seen so many people actually have a massive relief of symptoms when

2:11.4	If you're an integrative or functional medicine practitioner, chances are you're placing
