It took over 5 years of going to old school endocrinologist who prescribed postage stamp treatment of synthetic drugs to break free and get to the root cause. Mine was over stressed adrenals and now after 2 weeks of vitamin supplementation and Armor thyroid I’m losing weight breathing better and have more energy. My hope is that functional medicine will replace standard medicine in the near future as people get better educated.

My mom reversed many dementia symptoms by following Dr. Dale Bredesen’s program (DIY fashion, with me as her coach). ❤🎉so grateful!!! She passed 3/7/23 after a fractured hip 12/19 made her bedridden (daily exercise was a huge part of her recovery and maintenance). But even with that trauma, she knew me and my sisters til the end, and kept her personality. Forever grateful. ❤

[@MorganReece]

PS Baseline Symptoms as of Summer 2021: Age: 93 A1C: 10.2 MoCHA score: 16 (decades off on the current year, thought our President was Jimmy Carter) Sundowners episodes: thinking she was in her childhood home in MD when in her apartment in CA; mistaking her daughter for a mysterious stranger who must have grown up across the street to know so much about her; too tired/paranoid to sleep in her downstairs bedroom at night; wetting her couch and recliner and not noticing; leaving her bathroom with pants in hand, oblivious to feces dripping down her legs; confined to a wheelchair when leaving her apartment due to falls. Symptoms in December 2022: Age: 94.5 A1C: 5.9 President? Joe Biden Before her hip fracture, she attended church services and enjoyed shopping with me, no wheelchair. Cared for her own toileting 24/7. Showed improved scores on Brain HQ. Her PT regimen included marching 20x (holding a grab bar inside the window sill), knees raised hip high. She danced with me as we enjoyed Lawrence Welk. She also repeatedly watched Dr. Bredesen interviews on KZbin; Dr. Hyman’s was a favorite. 😍 The Sundowners was still there but much different: she nightly asked where she was to sleep, but always knew who I was. Best of all, she was herself. After watching my grandma’s decline from AD (crawling on carpet, eating lint 🤮), there are no words for my gratitude to Dr. Hyman and others who made the ReCODE program so accessible. If you or a loved one has Dementia, there is hope! You may not be able to reverse everything. But don’t let that keep you from trying. And if you hit a wall and start declining again, review the program and tackle the next thing. Things that made a difference for Mom: strenuous exercise, AM hydration, ketoflex 16/8, dropping A1C thru diet & exercise, big salad at 5-7d/wk, sardines 2x/wk (lemon-curry & smashed, in keto wrap), bedtime fat bomb (THM Skinny Chocolate), spirometer drills 3-4x/day, side sleeping, nasal breathing. See playlists on my channel for links to Dr. Bredesen info & more. And follow Dr. Hyman! Very smart holistic advice. 🤗

I see a functional doctor and cannot imagine being a patient in an allopathic clinic. I have gone to two referred specialists ( dermatology and endocrinology) and came back to my doctor saying I wasn’t going back, period, and would he consider being my one stop doctor. He agreed. Last visit I asked him why he went into functional medicine and he looked me straight in the eyes and said, ‘because my patients were not improving’.

[@curiouscat3384]

My experience also. I'd been going to a functional med doctor but this year wanted to get on board with a "regular" doctor because they did a great job with testing and treating covid. Plus I'm now on Medicare and can save the high private pay of a functional doctor just to get annual tests when, knock on wood, all my routine labs are normal. Anyhoo - the regular doctor at the beginning said "just so you know, I'm NOT a functional medicine doctor and I won't be doing all that testing and supplements and such" as she's waving her hands dismissively, almost as if she was warding off evil spirits. Then she just went down their routine new patient checklist of questions and gave me a 10 minute lecture each, on why I should get colonoscopy and mammogram but wouldn't entertain the idea of getting a CAC scan. I doubt I'll go back unless I have some minor injury or illness that I need a referral for. But I"m phobic also about specialists so I appreciate your testimonial KaCee! Oh and p.s. the Functional Medicine practice only has maybe one patient in the waiting room at a time. I get at least a 30 minute consultation just to discuss my wellness program. The regular doctors have a packed waiting room of old miserable looking people (I'm 68 but feel about 40) - what an unpleasant experience!

[@SouthFloridaSunshine]

God bless that Dr. for recognizing they were not getting better and, doing something positive with that information.

[@bastian6173]

Good one. I think the key really is that our bodies have all the things on board that they need to regulate themselves... but as humans we always think we know better with our pills and surgeries and all... no... nature knows what it's doing. Let's stop intervening

[@c4caffeen134]

My husband's new Dr just told him to drop Salt intake (we use iodized sea salt & pink salt in ACVinegar) - read up on how vital salt is and they're telling patients to drop salt without asking about their carb/sugar intake & checking insulin resistance etc

[@curiouscat3384]

@@c4caffeen134 Ugh! So I guess he didn't test him for sodium? We need at least 1500 mg per day. I learned this when I quit eating processed foods, I need to ADD 2 tsp salt per day. And balance that with 4700 mg Potassium! Nutrition is complicated and sadly, countless doctors have just learned a mantra of reduce salt intake to battle high blood pressure. Us educated people here know that salt is not the enemy, SUGAR is !!! I love Dr. Berg's channel because he spells all this out.

[@squirrelcovers6340]

I've been keto for 8 years, kept off 105lbs and all my labs are within range. I have 1 cheat day every month and I fast 1 day a week. I feel great. And STILL, my doctor says I need carbs for energy"😣 SO annoying.

[@peggyvorse1461]

I agree, about the doctor comment, when Covid came along, and going to the doctor very much, let’s stop going completely when they were asking if you were going to get the shot, and I wasn’t I decided to put my trust in my God because he was kept home from the flu for the last 20 years or more, and as far as I know, I wasn’t sick but I didn’t get tested. I spent three days and three nights in bed feeling a little funny getting up and taking my thousand milligrams of vitamin C, that I was taking every day before it started., I was even home at feeling mildly sick for three days kind of feverish slightly nauseous, had no temperature thermometer. But I still haven’t had any shock, even though I’m 74

[@lauraburgess2734]

Isn't that sooo frustrating and just mind boggling?!? Honestly, when my doc kept telling me the same thing, and I kept asking him "then why do I have tons more energy and I never have the crash or lows that I did when I ate carbs?" and he just looks at me like I'm the idiot I got a new pcp!! The fact that he could see the weight loss, see the incredible changes in my labs, see the complete cessation of my symptoms along with the fact that I look so much healthier and vital, yet still didn't even have the sense to stop and consider, even for a moment, that maybe he doesn't know everything was just too much for me to trust him with any other health issues. If they would just drop the ego and act like a doctor should... it's such a shame.

What an eye opening video! I am flaberghasted by this information. Yet on the otherhand after watching what happened over the last 2 years I'm not entirely surprised at how the pharmaceutical agencies have taken over healthcare. I definitely need to get to a functional medicine practitioner. You are a wonderful person Dr Hyman and so honest. What a battle to be fighing at this time. I will tell all my friends about your work in hopes they heed the warnings. Sadly many in my family blindly take all the latest perscription medicines and seem to be getting sicker. I have decided to try alternative routes like the keto diet. Kudos to all the brave men and women who fight the good fight and try to heal people.

Can Adrenal Fatigue or chronic inflamation be fixed? Is there a protocol to reverse fatty liver? Do prescription drugs compromise the liver, things like Vytorin, diuretics, antidepressant, and anxiety pills. Is it possible to sustitute them for natural medicines instead of chemicals pills that ruin another part of the body?

[@johnfly9564]

@@gloriadearellano7442You will first need to get off the prescription drugs, one at a time, starting with the SSRI’s and anxiety medication. I would personally stop the anti-anxiety medication first, because if it’s not a benzodiazepine then it’s only working through the placebo affect, and if it is a benzodiazepine, it is disrupting too many natural body and brain processes to count. Benzos can require a very, very slow tapering process, especially if you are not able to stay at home while you do this. The easiest method would be to step your dosage down as minimal an amount as possible, even if you have to use volumetric measuring, and then staying on that lower dosage for at least 21 days until you step down again. When you are finally off, wait another 21 days minimum to let your body adjust and to avoid having to start on the medication again. If you do have to start back on it, that is fine, just go to the lowest comfortable dosage and try again. This process can also be used with the SSRI but the tapering may can go faster. Both the anti-anxiety and SSRI can have a lengthy detox process even after you have gotten completely off. Know that even though it may feel like it, this detox process will not kill you. For the most troublesome parts I had to utilize complex meditation techniques and very small doses of psilocybin mushrooms, but I was suffering from complex childhood trauma. After I was able to get off the psychotropic meds, I was able to start on the physical body meds. I am now on zero medications from up to 9 at one point, and am only showing mild autoimmune symptoms, which decline in intensity the longer I go without eating gluten. I did have to completely change my mess of a diet before starting this process, while making small changes along the way, to compensate for all the systemic disruptions within my body. Before I started this process I was on the cusp of a permanent Hashimoto’s diagnosis along with a possible fibromyalgia diagnosis. Those symptoms are now gone. Good luck, message me if you require more information.

That got me questioning all the hype around saturated fats. Ate mostly saturated fat but not every day. My wife’s grandmother cooked with and in lard three times a day and her husband died at 89, Her mother who lived with her was 95. Of course they worked every day and had a very low stress level.

25:00 - Yes, when I was a registered dietitian in the 1970's, we used the ketogenic diet on the pediatric ward for uncontrolled seizures. It went out of use when anti-seizure medications became available. Then it was "rediscovered" decades later. You are 100% accurate on the composition of the ketogenic diet. Not everyone on youtube provides accurate nutrition information. Thank you so much.

Obviously you want to help people and I do too. After all this time since you did this video, maybe no one will see this ,but I will put it here in hopes someone will see it. In addition to your excellent advice, I suggest the 4 day rotation diet. Also, I had ulsers, very severe. Dr's said I needed surgery. I had been taking antacid, by the case, and milk. The surgery was scheduled and I was resigned. Then, I found out about cayenne pepper. I took cayenne pepper and lemon juice and it curred the agonizing condition.

Dr Hyman resonates so well with me. I was unaware of the term "Functional Medicine" before, However, I am quite the supplement nerd and always trying to improve my health. About 12 yrs ago, I had no energy. My blood was tested and there was no iron, low sex hormones and very low thyroid hormones. The lab tested my blood 3 times and called the Dr in alarm. I was severely anemic and my thyroid had been failing. I also had scary high blood pressure and was heading into menopause. I was put on meds. Fast forward - I am wondering if I will ever be able to have a naturally functioning Thyroid again. I am already doing many of the things he mentions he does/takes. This video is inspiring me to look into other tests and medications - thank you Doc!

[@karendaly4218]

Intermittent fasting may help also. Listen to Dr Mindy Pelz..she has some amazing info too on healing thyroid.

Start researching your issues. Try Dr Berg’s channel. Just type dr Berg, then the issue you want to look up. You Tube may suggest similar topics from other doctors.

I was going on 4 years keto, the third year cheating some but getting right back on it. Well, here I am, I don't blame you for giving permission to eat other things once in a while, but I tried different foods and they didn't do bad like it used to. Ezekeil bread, then it went to deli meats for the bread, then rice wasn't so bad. All of a sudden I couldn't do a whole shopping trip. My legs and feet are cramping up. I'm buying healthy granola bars that in reality are candy bars. The carbs and sugar tricked me, just like they say happens with alcoholics. So I made the date and started at the beginning again. Beef and veggies is what my body responds to very well. I will let my husband see my results. He's the one who brings the garbage into the house.

The cause was food allergies and lactose intolerance. Avoiding milk, ice cream and cheese solved the lactose problem and the food allergy was corn and it’s derivatives a big problem. Doctors would prescribe Mmylanta 2 for my stomach problems. And a swig before solved that problem, but if I stopped taking Mylanta. At 37years old I got married and my stress level went up, butI was able to stop taking the Mylanta that puzzled me bu I never had to take Mylanta again.

Little did we know it was junk food, and more and more fast food came along. It tasted worse and worse, and people got fatter and fatter. I lost 65 pounds on keto.
