Scientific research tells us that treatment approaches in functional medicine are best decided by looking at patients and their symptoms rather than allowing lab results to dictate those decisions.
In this video series, I provide a short checklist to help educate patients and clinicians about best practices.
Video 1 discusses why weeding out unnecessary tests reduces costs and improves health outcomes.

0:46.2 | Welcome back to Dr. Rousho. Today, I kind of have a special treat, although it feels weird to say |
0:51.3 | that. It's not something that you made, but I took quite a bit of time over the past few months |
0:56.0 | to try to think about how we can best describe what we're doing at the clinic in such a way |
1:02.4 | so that it arms people with tools to be able to evaluate other health care providers |
1:09.9 | and really ensure that they're not getting |
1:12.3 | pulled into some of the shenanigans in the field and have a short list of principles. Follow these |
