0:00.0	One of the hardest things about navigating the Western medical system is that clinicians are not
0:08.8	given enough time to adequately hear the stories of their patients. What happens is people walk
0:18.7	away from the physician's office or from the pharmacy encounter or even a visit with a nurse feeling like they haven't been heard and when you feel unheard it can lead to a dismissal of real life symptoms that fit together in some odd, rare, unseen pattern.
0:45.7	Today I interview Dr. Seema Canwall.
0:49.5	She is a naturopathic physician who specializes in rare diseases and nutrition.
0:58.5	I thought it was very important to have someone on who could talk about rare genetic diseases

2:38.4	with rare diseases to mental wellness, vibrant energy and vitality, and helps them achieve
2:47.3	an overall higher standard of life. Oftentimes, they don't even know it was possible
2:55.7	to feel this good with their condition. We start our conversation focusing in on a gene
3:02.9	called APOE. The APOE gene is the instructions for making a protein called APO-LipoProtene E.
