Inflammatory title? Totally. In this think piece, Erin discusses the drawbacks, red flags and potential issues with certain functional medicine philosophies. She's getting honest with caveats to consider with functional lab testing — including how both the placebo and nocebo effects can play a role in a patient's healing process. This episode is not only geared for practitioners who are practicing functional medicine and analyzing lab tests, but also for the client on the receiving end.
