Pursuing Health show

Summary: **Sorry for the poor audio quality, we had an issue with Dr. Hyman's mic.<br> <br> Dr. Hyman is the founder and medical director of the UltraWellness Center, Chairman of the Institute for Functional Medicine, and Director of the Center for Functional Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. He is also an 8-time New York Times bestselling author. He is dedicated to tackling the root causes of chronic disease by harnessing the power of Functional Medicine to transform healthcare. He works every day to empower people, organizations, and communities to heal their bodies and minds, and improve our social and economic resilience.<br> <br> I first met Dr. Hyman at the Cleveland Clinic where I attend medical school. I had become frustrated with certain aspects of medicine during my early medical training, but the more I learn about Functional Medicine, the more I believe this is the medicine of the future. From my vantage point, Functional Medicine is creating a revolution in medicine much like CrossFit has in fitness. <br> <br> In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Hyman to discuss the basics of Functional Medicine, how he came to practice this way, what he is working on at the Cleveland Clinic, and the importance of community in creating health. <br> <br> Please SUBSCRIBE and RATE on iTunes, and share your feedback in the comments or using #JFHealth!
