play

10/22/24 • 56 min

In this episode of Wellness Rewind, Amy Beard, MD, gets real about med spas and the booming world of aesthetic treatments, taking a deeper look beyond the surface. From fillers and injectables to laser therapies and microneedling, she dives into the potential hidden risks these popular treatments pose for your immune system and overall health. Are they really safe, or could they be doing more harm than good?

Dr. Beard also explores the root motivations behind aesthetic treatments, questioning whether they’re truly about prevention or if they’re more a result of the pressure from social media, Photoshop, and celebrity culture. She emphasizes that achieving lasting skin health requires more than just treating the outside—it’s about nourishing your body from within.

For those seeking a more holistic approach to skincare and aging, Amy highlights the connection between gut health and skin vitality. By healing your gut, you can improve skin conditions like acne, eczema, and premature aging. Check out Amy's Total Gut Job for a comprehensive gut reset program that can dramatically improve your skin and overall health.

Dr. Beard also stresses the importance of foundational health habits, which are essential for youthful, glowing skin. For a step-by-step guide on how to integrate these habits into your daily life, explore the Live Well Planner. This planner combines health, wellness, and lifestyle tips to help you create routines that support vibrant skin and long-term well-being.

There are many things to consider before starting the journey towards opening your own functional medicine practice. There is no standard "business plan", and this type of practice is very different than those operating within the conventional medicine/insurance model. Don't make the mistakes I did! Paul and I discuss our journey, from leaving the ER to now owning and operating a telemedicine functional medicine practice.

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.

Don't fall for it. Don't accept the excuses... "getting older" or "it's your genes" or "it's just something that happens". Chronic diseases are increasing at an alarming rate. And more testing and better treatments are not what's needed. We discuss what is contributing to this dramatic rise in diseases that were once considered uncommon, and what you need to do about it should you find yourself with a common but not normal disease.

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 - How to find the perfect diet for you | Ep. 8
play

06/25/20 • 80 min

There is no successful one-size-fits-all diet plan. There are many things to consider when trying to determine what foods you should (and should not) be eating: food sensitivities and intolerances, gut health needs, activity levels, toxin exposures, stage of life, GI surgeries, and many other things. The "perfect" diet is one that is perfect for you and you only. You are unique, and your dietary needs should reflect and accommodate your lifestyle, environmental exposure, and genetics (to a small degree). We discuss our strategy for determining the "perfect" diet.
