Functional Medicine For Christians- Part 1
Amy Beard MD
02/15/21 • 49 min
The majority of Functional Medicine practitioners seem to go to great lengths to avoid anything to do with the Christian faith but will embrace anything new age, or culturally appropriate any other religion's "metaphysical" aspects. This could be a reason that some Christians are wary of Functional Medicine. The truth is that Functional Medicine is MADE for Christians. The Bible is full of "Functional Medicine" tips. This podcast looks at Functional Medicine from the optics of the Christian faith and explains how Christians should not be wary of Functional Medicine. The truth is Christianity is the best way to fully harness the benefits of Functional Medicine. Don't let the secular misinformation bullies keep you from Functional Medicine. God wants us to do our part to stay healthy and then lean on his Grace to finish healing.

We go over the 15 signs of an abusive relationship according to psychologists (for what that's worth). And it appears we are currently in one with regards to the advice provided by "medical experts". But also, many of the signs are consistent with the experiences I and many others have had with their healthcare providers. If these signs ring true for you, it's time to get out of the abusive relationship.

Amy Beard MD
07/20/20 • 64 min
Being sedentary is the new smoking. It's THAT bad. Physical activity is as essential as the air you breathe. Paul and I discuss the MANY ways physical activity reduces immune dysfunction via its positive effects on mitochondrial function, gut health, hormone and thyroid balance, detoxification, etc. We also discuss the pitfall of overexercising and how too much exercise can backfire and make it much more difficult to lose weight. Move your butt or get a gut.
Chronic Stress: Is It Making You Fat?
Amy Beard MD
07/09/20 • 78 min
Most people underestimate the amount of chronic stress present in their lives, as well as its negative impacts on their health. Chronic stress produces chronic elevations in cortisol. Not a good scenario for your waistline and backside. Paul and I discuss how cortisol makes you fat, the often under appreciated sources of chronic stress, and the steps you need to take to keep those cortisol levels low.

Amy Beard MD
08/03/20 • 54 min
Many common household products are full of harmful chemicals that cause endocrine disruption, cancer, and immune dysregulation. Reduce your exposure to these toxicants to reduce their harmful effects on your health.

In this episode we discuss how the microbiome directly impacts your weight and your health. It is essential to understand this connection for your health and any weight issues that you might be having. As Hippocrates said over 2000 years ago "All diseases begin in the gut". Your weight issues are a symptom of metabolic derangements and systemic inflammation. As we always say "if you want to lose your butt, you have to heal your gut".

A look at the first steps that are needed to overcome chronic inflammation that is associated with most of today's chronic health issues. No matter the "ism", "itis" or ICD-10 code, gut health should always be a key focus when reducing systemic inflammation and regaining immune balance. Hippocrates got it right over 2000 years ago when he said, "All diseases begin in the gut." And there are many lifestyle behaviors and environmental exposures that impact gut health other than what you put into your mouth. It's much more than taking a probiotic. Much, much more.
