Dr Anca Sisu MD on a Functional Medicine Approach to Whole Body Fitness

Dr Anca Sisu MD on a Functional Medicine Approach to Whole Body Fitness

Holistic Health and Fitness ep 1

Optimal health and fitness doesn’t have to be a guessing game.  Chronic illness, aging, old injuries or stress can get in the way of whole body fitness and feeling good while moving.  Functional Medicine can reverse the negative impacts of stress and life on our body.  A guided approach to whole health and fitness starts with measurements and data that the typical doc does not offer. Functional Medicine is the future.  If you want to realize the potential of your body with blood work, stool and genetic testing and if you are motivated to advance in age without chronic illness, then you’ll learn why Functional Medicine is the best solution.

Please note that information in this episode this is NOT medical advice.

Themes of this episode:

Healthy expressions of genes and hormones can be stumped when a functional medicine approach is not taken.

Knowing more about the body is a tool for achieving sustainable fitness and health.

Health sovereignty and the ability to bounce back from almost anything life throws at us is a privilege that Functional Medicine can award us.
