Emerging science points to a different way of thinking about chronic illness, including cancer. Rather than divide the body into organs, functional medicine views disease as a systemic problem, in which the approach is to treat the system, not the symptom. Join me as I speak with Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, MD, as we discuss why cancer rates are at an all-time high, the importance of early detection, alternative screening options, and what an integrative treatment approach truly entails.
What you'll learn from this episode:

• How Dr. Connealy's approach to cancer differs from standard conventional medicine
• Safer alternatives to conventional screenings like mammography
• What happens when patients choose nutrition and integrative medicine first
• The importance of a holistic approach to health and healing
• The connection between high phthalates & chemo resistance
• & So much more!
