In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dane Johnson — Founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle and the visionary behind the S.H.I.E.L.D. program — to unpack the real-life strategies that helped him reclaim his health after a near-death battle with Crohn's disease. With authenticity and purpose, Dane shares how he turned suffering into strength, leveraging natural medicine, functional nutrition, and integrative therapies to not just survive IBD — but thrive. His S.H.I.E.L.D. framework (Supplements, Herbs, Imagination, Exercise, Lifestyle, Diet) is a testament to personalized, root-cause healing that's both sustainable and empowering. Together, we explore the complex terrain of IBD: From genetic predispositions to microbiome dysregulation The impact of chronic stress and environmental toxins The gut-brain-liver axis and the underrated role of the vagus nerve Why standard labs often fall short and how functional testing can guide recovery  And most importantly, why healing requires a mindset shift — not just a meal plan. Whether you're a clinician, patient, or simply someone looking to understand chronic gut conditions through a functional lens — this episode is packed with insight, inspiration, and practical tools for real transformation. Key Takeaways: Functional Medicine Approach: Dane Johnson emphasizes the importance of understanding root causes such as microbiome imbalance and environmental factors in managing IBD. The SHIELD Program: A comprehensive lifestyle and dietary program designed to empower individuals to reclaim their health by being the 'CEO' of their wellness journey. Microbiome and Inflammation: How an overgrowth of harmful bacteria and fungal species can lead to chronic inflammation and exacerbate IBD symptoms. Vagus Nerve Stimulation: The critical role of the vagus nerve in maintaining digestive health and how it can influence the body's inflammatory response. Personal Health Advocacy: Encouragement to take charge of one's health by integrating knowledge, dietary changes, and functional testing to identify and address individual health needs. More About Dane Johnson: Dane Johnson is a holistic health practitioner and founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle focuses on the root-cause approach to healing Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Drawing from his own near-death experience, Dane shares the pivotal realizations that led him away from conventional symptom management and toward lasting remission through his SHIELD Protocol. Listeners will discover how chronic gut inflammation, immune dysregulation, and emotional trauma all contribute to IBD and why a one-size-fits-all medical model often falls short. Dane unpacks the six pillars of his healing method, explains why personalized strategies are essential, and empowers practitioners and patients to embrace a new paradigm of gut healing: one rooted in functional medicine, lifestyle transformation, and real-world results. Whether you're a clinician seeking better outcomes or someone living with IBD, this conversation offers practical insights and powerful hope for lasting change.

Today's episode dives into something that's frankly underestimated and not talked about enough: women's health. Not only are women underrepresented in clinical studies, but they're frequently told that their suffering is either “normal” or “all in their head.” Or they're prescribed a bunch of pharmaceuticals that haven't been extensively studied in their bodies, especially for long-term effects.  My guest today believes that when women's health is optimized, they can GIVE 100% to their daily tasks and FIND MORE JOY in life. It's that simple. And women's health is intimately connected to their hormones, emotions, and their menstrual cycles. So let's stop making menstrual health a taboo subject, and make it a priority instead. Dr. Robinson always felt a calling to help others in the area of health and wellness. At the age of 9, she was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease that was put into remission using conventional medicine. She never forgot the kindness shown by her doctors and wanted to ‘pay it forward'. This passion for health took her to the medical field. She graduated with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from St. Louis College of Pharmacy in 2011 and began working for the U.S. Army as a pharmacist. Upon completing her time in the service, she began working for CVS pharmacy in 2017. In 2020, Dr. Robinson was introduced to the world of Functional Medicine. Within a few months, she achieved certification as a practitioner through Functional Medicine University, quit her job at CVS and branched out on her own. All this time, she recognized there were still some unresolved issues in her health. Using a holistic approach, she started doing the work, seeing results and helping others do the same. She currently owns a 1-on-1 practice where she inspires, educates and coaches women to the healthiest version of themselves.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Myriah Hinchey, a functional medicine practitioner specializing in chronic illness and immune dysfunction, to explore the complex world of autoimmunity through the lens of Lyme disease and stealth pathogens. We dive into how these microbes evade the immune system, disrupt the body's internal balance, and target areas of weakness — from old injuries to inflamed tissues. Dr. Hinchey explains how this leads to persistent inflammation, neurological symptoms, and gut dysfunction, often without obvious signs of infection. You'll learn why a root-cause approach to chronic infections must go beyond antimicrobials — incorporating immune support, detoxification, terrain rebuilding, and the smart use of herbal medicine.   If you've struggled with unexplained symptoms, autoimmunity, or suspect hidden infections might be at play, this conversation will help you understand the deeper mechanisms — and what true healing actually takes. Key Takeaways: The central focus in treating Lyme disease should be on restoring immune balance and competency rather than solely targeting pathogens with antibiotics. Lyme disease can lead to significant systemic disruptions, manifesting in symptoms such as fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, and even neuropsychiatric disorders. A therapeutic lifestyle approach, including dietary changes, detoxification, and stress management, is essential for effective management of chronic vector-borne diseases. Herbal medicine, especially herbs like Cryptolepis, Chinese Skullcap, and Japanese Knotweed, play a vital role in managing inflammation and immune dysregulation. More About Dr. Myriah Hinchey, ND: Dr. Myriah Hinchey, a Naturopathic physician and Fellow of the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS), is a recognized expert in the field of Lyme disease and other complex chronic inflammatory conditions, with over 17 years of specialized experience. As a physician and the Medical Director at TAO, an integrative center for healing, she has successfully guided thousands of patients towards recovery from their complex chronic inflammatory conditions. Additionally, she is the founder and owner of LymeCore Botanicals, a herbal medicine company focused on providing effective solutions for healing vector-borne diseases. Dr. Hinchey is dedicated to treating patients of all ages, with a specialty in pediatrics, and is also a sought-after speaker, passionately educating healthcare professionals on the pathophysiology of vector-borne diseases and how to successfully integrate functional, herbal, and lifestyle medicine into their practices.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Heather Stone, a leading functional medicine practitioner with over 20 years of experience,  to unpack why so many thyroid issues go undiagnosed or mismanaged. We go beyond the standard TSH lab test to explore the real drivers of thyroid dysfunction — from gut imbalances and hormone shifts to environmental triggers often overlooked in conventional care. You'll hear why medication alone rarely resolves symptoms long term, and why a precision-based, root-cause approach is essential for lasting healing. We dive deep into Hashimoto's, autoimmune flare-ups, and the exact moments in life when women are most vulnerable to thyroid breakdown — like postpartum and menopause. If you've ever been told “your labs look normal” but you still feel off, this episode is for you. It's time to move from symptom management to root cause resolution. Key Takeaways: Identify Underlying Causes: Healing thyroid dysfunction requires looking beyond hormone prescriptions to address immune, gut, adrenal, and environmental triggers. Comprehensive Testing: Traditional TSH testing is inadequate alone; a full thyroid panel and additional health markers are crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Lifestyle Integration: Dietary changes, particularly eliminating gluten and dairy, and stabilizing blood sugar are pivotal for improving thyroid function and overall health. Functional vs. Traditional Medicine: Functional medicine offers a holistic approach that focuses on the root causes of symptoms rather than managing them with medications. Women's Health Concerns: Women are more susceptible to thyroid issues due to hormonal fluctuations and stress, necessitating tailored approaches to diagnosis and care.   More About Dr. Heather Stone, DC: Dr. Heather Stone, DC is one of the top functional medicine practitioners in the world. She has over 20 years of clinical experience in private practice. During that time she has successfully helped thousands of women overcome the symptoms of hypothyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Her thyroid transformation blueprint has been used by hundreds of doctors, and thus has helped countless women return to happy, healthy, & lean. Her mission is to change the face of healthcare through her private practice, books, masterclasses, webinars, education programs, and retreats on her ranch in Texas. SPECIAL GIVEAWAY!

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Pedram Shojai to dive into the fascinating connection between your gut and your overall health. We break down neuroception — how your body subconsciously scans for safety — and why it plays such a critical role in healing and performance. We get into the gut's “second brain,” the enteric nervous system, and how it drives your physical and mental well-being without you even realizing it. Dr. Shojai also shares real-world insights on tackling dysbiosis, understanding gut-immune symbiosis, and how simple lifestyle shifts can radically improve your health. If you've ever wondered how stress, gut health, and the nervous system all tie together — and how to actually use that knowledge to feel better — this is an episode you won't want to miss. Key Takeaways: Understanding Neuroception: Neuroception refers to the subconscious detection of safety or threat in the body, playing a crucial role in both gut health and overall well-being. Gut as an Immune Organ: The gut houses the majority of the body's immune cells, acting as a critical barrier between the inside of the body and external threats. Role of Stress in Gut Health: Chronic stress can disrupt gut microbiota, leading to issues like dysbiosis and gut permeability, thereby affecting mental health. Food Sensitivities: Identifying and avoiding food sensitivities can prevent chronic inflammation, leading to better overall health. Holistic Approaches to Wellness: Emphasizing mind-body practices, such as meditation and breath work, can improve gut health by promoting a balanced parasympathetic state.   More About Dr. Pedram Shojai: Dr. Pedram Shojai is a man with many titles.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Deanna Minich — a nutrition scientist and author of the Rainbow Diet — to talk about a topic we don't hear nearly enough about: the power of color in our food. We dive into what food colors actually do in the body, how they impact everything from mood to memory, and why most of us are walking around with a “color deficiency” without even realizing it. Dr. Minich breaks down the functional role of phytonutrients in a way that's easy to understand, yet incredibly eye-opening. She also challenges conventional diet labels (vegan, carnivore, etc.) and instead invites us to build a more personal, color-coded relationship with food. If you've ever wondered how to shift from counting calories to eating more consciously — or if you're just curious about what “eating the rainbow” really means — this conversation will give you a whole new lens for looking at your plate. Key Takeaways: The Rainbow Diet Philosophy: Move beyond traditional diet patterns to embrace a personalized nutrition approach focusing on the incorporation of diverse phytonutrient-rich colors in the diet. Colorful Foods & Health Benefits: Each color in food offers unique phytonutrients and health advantages, from supporting inflammation control with red foods to enhancing brain function with blue and purple foods. Importance of Creativity and Diversity: Diversifying food types and embracing new combinations can break monotonous eating habits and enrich the microbiome with varied phytonutrients. Chrono Nutrition: Align eating patterns with natural rhythms for optimal metabolic health, integrating concepts like circadian rhythm, seasonal, and lunar dietary adjustments. Expanding the Role of Food: More than sustenance, food represents culture, emotion, and interconnectedness, urging a balanced evaluation of its role in personal well-being. More About Dr. Deanna Minich, PhD: Dr. Deanna Minich is a renowned nutrition scientist, international speaker, educator, and author with 20+ years of experience bridging the gap between science and soul. She's currently the Chief Science Officer at Symphony Natural Health and the founder of Food & Spirit™, where she integrates functional nutrition with lifestyle medicine to support whole-person healing.

In this episode, I interview Dr. Ken Sharlin, a neurologist and the author of The Healthy Brain Toolbox, to discuss Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's and ALS. Dr. Sharlin explores the symptoms, causes, and potential breakthroughs in treating these diseases through both conventional and functional medicine.What We Discuss:Parkinson's Symptoms and Early Signs: Both motor symptoms (such as tremors, rigidity, and shuffling gait) and non-motor symptoms (including anxiety, depression, constipation, and REM sleep behavior disorder) can appear during a pre-motor phase that may last over a decade before diagnosis. The Neuroscience of Parkinson's: We explore how dopamine loss and damage to the basal ganglia disrupt movement, highlighting the role of dopamine in the disease's hallmark symptoms.Current Treatments: While there's no cure, treatments like levodopa manage symptoms. Diagnostic tools like DAT and SPECT scans reveal brain abnormalities that guide treatment.Levodopa: This vital medication helps restore dopamine but can cause side effects like psychosis, making it important to balance with functional approaches.  Explore its science, benefits, risks, and limitations. Environmental Factors: Toxins, head injuries, and gut health may contribute to Parkinson's, with inflammation and oxidative stress playing key roles in its development.Gut-Brain Connection: We discuss how gut health affects brain function and the potential of diet and probiotics to slow disease progression.Diet and Lifestyle: A plant-based, anti-inflammatory diet, along with sleep, exercise, and stress management, is crucial for brain health and reducing inflammation.Understanding Systems Biology: We explore systems biology and how our interconnected bodily systems influence neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's, advocating for a holistic strategy instead of just treating individual organs or symptoms. Reversing Cognitive Decline: Dr. Sharlin shares success stories of reversing Alzheimer's through functional medicine, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle changes and controlling inflammation.RESOURCESBOOKS- An Essay on the Shaking Palsy by James Parkinson- The Healthy Brain Toolbox by Dr. Ken Sharlin- Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert Sapolsky DRUGS- Aducanumab (Aduhelm)- Donanemab (Kisunla)- Fluoxetine (Prozac)- Omeprazole (Prilosec, Losec)- Lecanemab (Leqembi) - Levodopa and Carbidopa (Sinemet)MOVIES & TV- Awakenings- Star Trek- Supersize MePEOPLE- Barbara Pickut- Brett Favre- Hans Selye- James Parkinson- Leonardo da Vinci- Morgan Spurlock- Robert Sapolsky- Robin Williams- Robert De Niro- Walter CannonORGANIZATIONS- Bened Life- Biogen- Eli Lilly- Eisai - Green Bay Packers- The Institute for Functional Medicine- University of MichiganVOCABULARY- Alpha-synuclein- Amyloid- Cytochrome P450- Cytokines- Electron transport chain- General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)- Glutathione- Glycolysis- Krebs Cycle - Lateral ventricles- Montreal Cognitive Assessment- Normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH)- mTOR pathway- Peroxide- Postencephalitic Parkinsonism - Superoxide- Tau PET imaging- Trichloroethylene- Urea cycleConnect & Learn MoreWebsite: functionalmedicine.doctor Book: healthybraintoolbox.com

We all know that "disease" is something that happens to us outside our control. The disease is an outsider that invades our bodies, and we are helpless to resist. Excellent health, the opposite of disease, is viewed as a blessing bestowed only on a select few. It is precisely this viewpoint that sometimes keeps us from experiencing the optimal level of health.   Today, I am joined by Dr. Al Danenberg as he shares his inspirational health journey of fighting and surviving cancer after being told he only had three months to live. We also talk about the dangers of mercury tooth fillings and X-rays.   Dr. Al, as his patients call him, has been a periodontist for over four decades, during which time he developed an unprecedented approach to gum disease based on evolutionary nutrition.   He also has advanced training in evolutionary nutrition from the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health as well as The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, is a certified functional medicine practitioner by way of Functional Medicine University, and is a Primal Health Coach.   In April 2020, Dr. Al was appointed the Chair of the Periodontal Committee for the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM) and several months later was appointed as a Member of the Scientific Advisory Board for Immunity at Daivam Wellness Center in India.   Connect with Dr. Al at: Website: https://drdanenberg.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-al-danenberg/   Resources: 5 Things That Could be Impacting Your Health Right Now https://drdanenberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/5-Things-PDF.pdf 10 Questions to Ask Your Biological Dentist  https://drdanenberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/10-Questions-to-Ask-Your-Biological-Dentist-11.21.21.pdf      What is Balanced Metabolic Coaching https://drdanenberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Balanced-Metabolic-Coaching-Program.pdf 4 Steps to a Healthy Mouth: https://drdanenberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/PDF-4-Steps-To-A-Healthy-Mouth-5.9.22.pdf Shoddy Dentistry & Mouth Splinters https://drdanenberg.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Shoddy-Dentistry-4.19.21.pdf  Link to my Blog about The State of Our Health As I Know It: https://drdanenberg.com/the-state-of-our-health-as-i-know-it/     Link to my Blog about a Leaky Gut and a Leaky Mouth: https://drdanenberg.com/leaky-gut-leaky-mouth-both-must-be-treated/ “Better Belly Blueprint” on Amazon to download to a Kindle App:  https://www.amazon.com/Better-Belly-Blueprint-strengthen-immune-ebook/dp/B08DX9N9RB “Is Your Gut Killing You?” on Amazon to download to a Kindle App:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F34ZVGX/  In This Episode:   [1:10] Dr. Al's background and health journey [8:35] Your attitude affects your healing potential [12:14] How did Dr. Al get cancer?

In this episode, get to know Dr. Stephanie Canestraro's incredible story of overcoming chronic health issues and how she fell in love with the vagus nerve, started her practice, and now runs a very successful functional medicine chiropractic clinic in Toronto, Ontario. We also chat about her recent experience with Lyme carditis and how she utilized several alternative approaches such as neural therapy. Dr Stephanie Canestraro graduated with Honors from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Prior to that, she received an Honors Bachelor of Science degree with a Major in Biochemistry from the University of Western Ontario. She has completed the Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Course at McMaster University, as well as Biomedical Dry Needling. When Dr. Stephanie's health began to decline early in her chiropractic career, and the allopathic medical system had nothing to offer, she began her journey towards Functional Medicine. Her interest in the human body, combined with her failing health, created a passion for finding the answers to her own health issues, and eventually everyone around her. She has been certified through Functional Medicine University and recently became a member of the prestigious IFMCP (Institute for Functional Medicine Practitioner) group. She continues her own research into Functional Medicine and is dedicated to finding answers to her patients' issues. Dr. Stephanie follows an integrative approach when treating her patients, utilizing a number of techniques, such as Contemporary Medical Acupuncture, joint manipulation, ART®, custom orthotics, Fascial Abrasion, Graston techniques, and performance optimization taping techniques. Active with continuing education courses, Dr. Stephanie continually integrates new techniques into her practice with the aim of improving function and reducing pain in her patients. Dr. Stephanie works mostly with elite athletes using her training as a Chiropractor and soft tissue specialist. She also uses comprehensive functional medicine testing, combined with therapeutic doses of supplements and specific diets, in addition to lifestyle changes (sleep hygiene, meditation, coping techniques, imagery, biofeedback, nature therapy, etc.) for performance optimization or to treat specific health issues of players. She is currently a consulting practitioner for players on the Toronto Maple Leafs, Nashville Predators, Vancouver Canucks, New York Islanders, ACE Tennis, Toronto Tennis City, and individual Hollywood actors and actresses alike. Her passion lies in concussions, degenerative neurological diseases, and gastrointestinal issues. Dr. Stephanie started educating fellow practitioners early in her career as an assistant instructor for Biomedical Dry Needling, FAT tool, and performance taping. She propels her career forward and thrives in the face of challenging cases, while always having an experienced mentor by her side to bounce ideas off of. All her referrals have been through word of mouth. Currently, Stephanie is at a pivot point in her career training new grads to work with to take on some of the patient load but is always exploring new ways to help people. @dr.scanestraro @vagusclinic https://vagusclinic.com/ ----------------------------------------------------- @amandapanacea @the_healer_revolution https://thehealerrevolution.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/amanda-panacea/support

I cannot even tell you how important this topic is. In fact, I want to do about 37 more episodes dedicated to stress.The reason? I truly believe, with all my heart, that healing for good, forever, comes down to stress.If you don't believe me now, you might after listening to Dr. Marcus break stress down into three areas. And once you hear them, get real honest with yourself.Where are you at today?Stressful {Episode 18 with Dr. Marcus Cirelli}Click HERE to save this episode for later.And by the way, because this week's topic is one so near and dear to my heart, there is a ton more information at the bottom of this post.Resources MentionedTotal Body Health Functional Medicine (Dr. Cirelli's website)Dr. Marcus Cirelli on InstagramIs Stress Causing My Digestive DistressStomach acidAcid RefluxThe Importance of Shifting from Stress to HappinessThe Elimination DietChronic Illness Root Cause Analysis is KingDon't Miss These ThoughtsDr. Cirelli's story; why he chose to go the route he didStress definition, detailed3 main forms of stress; emotional, dietary, and “hidden”What actually happens when we're stressed; the physiologyBranches of the nervous systemWhat does cortisol do to the digestive tract?TestingWhat causes low (vs. high) cortisol levels?Stomach acidWhy H.

He has extensive postdoctoral training and education in Functional Medicine and Clinical Nutrition through Functional Medicine University.Dr. Cirelli has completed a functional diagnostic medicine training program through Southern California University of Health Sciences and is a Certified Gluten Expert.He currently serves as a board of director member for a children nutrition company.Having health issues of his own, Dr. Cirelli was able to help heal himself through the use of Functional Medicine.

Dr. Cirelli sees patients both locally in Cleveland, Ohio and via webcam consultations for people around the world.Low (vs. high) Cortisol LevelsDuring the episode, I asked a question to Dr. Marcus around low vs. high cortisol levels.It's far more common to talk about high cortisol than low cortisol.But on my journey, I was constantly stressed. However, when I took the “adrenal fatigue” test, I always had super low (aka flat-lined) cortisol levels.It never made sense to me.But Dr. Marcus explained it perfectly, and I want to share more information.Normal Cortisol Level ChartWhen it comes to cortisol levels, what is “normal?”Integrative Therapeutics has a lot of great information on the topic. Their “normal” cortisol levels chart is succinct and accurate.(image via Integrative Therapeutics HERE.)To be clear, my levels never looked that way. They basically started at the bottom, and instead of raising then falling, just kept stagnant at the bottom.And that, my friends, is what we call, “HPA Axis Dysfunction.” Believe me. You do not want to get to that point.Recall that Dr. Marcus said the reason I got there was because I spent years in a chronic stress state.I do not want that for you.Here is something you can do about it today.Return to the podcast episode where Dr. Marcus and I discuss the three buckets of stress. Now, create your own list of things which fall under each category.I've made it easy for you with this graphic that you can save then download.Better yet, print the graphic HERE, then add it to the binder where you keep your gut healing e-journal.

Healthcare regulations are just one of the fears physicians have as they transition into functional medicine. Dr. Peter Osborne shares insights about building a brand in this space such as: Why so many physicians struggle with overcoming the fear of healthcare regulations as they transition into functional medicine The benefits of distancing yourself from traditional medicine as you build your brand Understanding functional medicine as the art and science of lifestyle and diet How to leverage the separation from traditional medicine to grow your practice What we can do to better convey our message and the services we have to offer How to establish transparent client relationships with clear expectations from the start What you can do to develop certainty in your services and brand The Separation from Traditional Medicine Many physicians struggle with overcoming the fear of healthcare regulations as they transition into functional medicine. Dr. Peter Osborne is back to explain why it's easier than you might think. Dr. Osborne is the founder of the Dream Practice FM Success Summit and The Gluten Free Society. He is also the director of Origins Health Care, a Doctor of Pastoral Science, and a board-certified clinical nutritionist. Dr. Peter Osborne initially joined us on The FM Shift to talk about the importance of charging what you're worth. If you didn't get a chance to listen to his interview on Episode #20, I encourage you to check it out for more context on our conversation today. The Art and Science of Lifestyle and Diet Functional medicine is not medicine; it is the art and science of lifestyle and diet. As functional medicine providers, our mission is to change the face of the healthcare industry. However, the louder and more vocal we get, the more attention we draw from the healthcare machine. Functional medicine is punk rock, and it is vulnerable to healthcare regulations, harassment, and scrutiny from the system. Dr. Peter Osborne is adamant about the separation of medicine and functional medicine because the patients that come through his doors maintain a mutual understanding of what his services or treatments entail. By deviating from society's construct of medical expertise, you can better target clients that are the right fit for your practice. Healthcare Regulations and Scrutiny When you establish your brand as a medical professional by practice, not by title, you don't have to worry about stringent healthcare regulations and scrutiny from the medical community. Why? Because you are building completely transparent relationships with every single client that comes through your practice. This is something you should take pride in because you are able to help people that the medical system has failed. You eliminate false expectations from the get-go and eliminate the victim mentality in your patients with proactive lifestyle solutions that have long-term effects. This is an area where traditional medicine has failed miserably, and we have the power to make a difference. Traditional medicine is not the space we want to be, and we need to distance ourselves from it for the sake of our patients and our practices.

On this episode, I speak with Julie Olson, Functional Nutritionist and Health Coach about how much sugar people today consume compared to what we need, what the consequences are of eating too much sugar is, and how to better manage your sugar intake and cut cravings. Julie became a Functional Nutritionist/Health Coach in functional medicine practices, working side-by-side with Medical Doctors. The goal with her patients is to find underlying root causes, often digging deeper with cutting-edge lab testing, to create solutions. By employing a system to document each client's actions, events, and environmental influences that had accumulated during their life, she analyzes patterns, correlations and triggers that range from specific foods, environmental exposures, and habits. She coaches each client tailored to their specific needs and goals. She often includes customized food plans, targeted nutrients, herbs, and supplementation, plus personalized lifestyle recommendations for each person. Julie's passion is to provide inspirational tools, guidance, and education to empower all of her clients for long-term success. Her website is https://fortitudefunctionalnutrition.com/.

Functional Medicine Education: What You Will Learn: Who the average functional medicine avatar is and how they make up 80% of your audience Why today's technology has created a powerful and unprecedented way to share your message Why the secret to niching down is to focus on what you feel passionate about Why undercharging for your services isn't just harmful to your practice but to your patients How to pick the right niche, and why structuring your pricing correctly is vital Why it is important to remember how much you have invested in your functional medicine education to get to where you are now Why creating perceived value by charging correctly for your services is necessary CE and Professional Development in Functional Medicine Are you pricing your services correctly? Do you charge for the real value of your functional medicine education, or are you undercharging? Dr. Peter Osborne is the director of Origins Health Care in Sugar Land, Texas. He is a Doctor of pastoral science and a Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist, and he joins us on the FM Shift podcast to explain why believing in yourself and charging what you're worth isn't just good for your practice but good for your patients as well. Charging What You're Worth Have you ever stopped to consider the amount of money you invested into your functional medicine education, both while you were in medical school and in all the ways you've continued to build upon your functional medicine education since? If you were to add up all the times you've spent money to further your own education and knowledge of functional medicine over the years, are you really charging what you're worth? Many of us struggle to value ourselves correctly, but charging too little can leave you scrambling for more patients to make up the difference, and then you fall into the trap of working harder than you have to for less than you deserve. Good for You and Good for Your Patients Valuing your functional medicine education isn't just the right thing to do for your practice, it's also important for getting your patients to comply. As Dr. Osborne explained, you have to create perceived value and get buy-in from your patients so that they will comply. Free advice is easy to shrug off, but if they're paying a premium for your expertise then they're going to be more invested in taking their healthcare seriously. Pricing your services, your supplements, and your products correctly against other local practices and retail prices is key; if you charge too little, then you're creating the perception that your products aren't as high-quality.
