back. I am very excited to bring you a case study today with Dr. Joe Mather and myself going

through one of his patients from the office, wherein we were able

to get someone off of thyroid medication while improving their gut health, reducing their

fatigue, reducing their IBS, improving their constipation, and improving their food tolerances,

all by kind of responsibly navigating through our model.

So just a case study chalk full of examples of how we can avoid some of the pitfalls of

functional medicine. And if we use a science guided algorithmic process can improve many

symptoms with only minimal intervention because we're going

after the interventions that are the most causal or the most upstream and we're avoiding

some of those downstream kind of appealing but incorrect traps that people oftentimes get sucked

into.

So we'll transition over to the case study now, but essentially able to get off of thyroid hormone medication that was not needed, improved gut health as evidenced by improved

bowels and less fatigue, improved food tolerance, and even a reduction of heavy metal burden, although and even though

no detox therapy was used. So just a phenomenal case study that really supports the model

of functional medicine that we are trying to develop, evolve, and pioneer.
