Nurse practitioner Cindy and nurse practitioner Lisa Vasile discuss why they both moved to a functional approach to care for their patients. Using a comprehensive approach, offering education, and providing nutritional support can improve many symptoms that have not been resolved with a conventional approach.

Cindy, FNP and Dr. Sean McCloy examine the different approaches between allopathic and functional healthcare. Finding "why" an illness is occurring is the basic philosophy of a functional approach. Today, more than ever, people are interested in making alternative care choices rather than taking prescription medications. By educating patients on the root of their illness, they can begin to understand why they are suffering and how they can be an active participant in their healing process.

In addition to enjoying his work, Sean McCloy loves going on outdoor adventures with his family, preparing gourmet vegetarian feasts, making music with his friends, playing ultimate frisbee and squash, furniture building, and exploring Maine. SHOW NOTES: What is root cause medicine? Why is there such a difference between allopathic and functional approaches? Is the Gut the number 1 place to go? Are people all different?

How difficult is this?

Cindy, FNP has a deep conversation with Dr. Shanhong Lu about the role our toxic environment plays on chronic illness. Since the body has a limited ability to detoxify on its own, there are very important raw materials such as antioxidants that are needed to achieve removal of harmful substances. Once the body is over burdened from the air we breathe, the water we drink, the pesticides in our food, illness can set in. Supporting all pathways for detoxification is key to a healthy body and mind.
