Highlights from today's episode include:
Dr John Dempster
I still don't want to be doing a cookie cutter approach, but if you're just using vitamins and diet, I want to make sure I'm treating that person, not the label that person carries. And so functional medicine to me really allowed us to start to peel those layers back and get super deep into understanding different types of nutrient deficiencies for example. Different types of microbiome imbalances. You know, it's one thing to say, oh, yeah, you've got a parasite by looking at somebody. But that doesn't always bear true. We've got to dive in there and really start to understand, do we have imbalances with parasites or bacteria or yeast or fungus overgrowth, possibly viruses?
Dr John Dempster
so autoimmunity in more cases than not is not caused by one thing that I've seen, it's by a number of imbalances and what we aim to do with our patients is really try to help them leverage and find where these blind spots are, eradicate those so that we can leverage the healing processes in our body.
Dr John Dempster
It's not that we possess a cure for any condition. But oftentimes, the more we're learning about a certain autoimmune conditions, over 220 diagnoseable diseases right now that fall under that umbrella, and that might be a very conservative estimate. But what we're seeing is that this is often a result of a perfect storm or a hurricane of symptoms that have or its underlying causes that have been out of balance for some time that create this almost synergistic wave that creates this reaction, this catastrophe, if you will, of symptoms.
