My guest in this episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy is the legendary Jeffrey Bland PhD, Founder of the Institute for Functional Medicine. Early in my medical career I attended a lecture given by Dr. Bland and it changed the trajectory of my career. At its core, Functional Medicine seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease, and views the body as one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs divided up by medical specialties. Having my mentor join me for this conversation was truly a delight and an honor.

ps- Food is Chemical Information: – Food is a “General Term”, in reality it is chemical information for the body and our microbiome and each molecule of food has the potential to be a building block, an antagonist, and directly interact with DNA, and mitochondrial RNA. Humans are 1 Million Genes, 4.5 Trillion base pairs, and only 23,000 genes, 2% are human, or 3 Billion base pairs.
