Why is Functional Medicine being kept out of Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare…and ALL the insurances being marketed to cover employees & their families during years when the foundation of wellbeing can be best established?

[@jaycarver4886]

Helen, I wonder that myself. I suppose they don't want to lose their cash cow which is unhealthy people. A patient for life!

[@helenstuckyweaver5778]

@@jaycarver4886 Yes, unhealthy, in debt, addicted, egocentric consuming tax-payers become multi-vectors tax-deductible cash flowing cash cows. As we all agree to accept their terms of service just to communicate.

Treatment at root, as a whole, and caring for one like how you would like to be cared for, bravo !

I love it!! ❤️ I am 💯 certain you will be an amazing Dr 👏

Very good decision! Good luck!

How’s it going for you? Here’s a way that I want to help people in Functional Medicine provide it for (and with) the cohort online2local

I need an appointment with Dr.Mark Hyman Himself !!!!!

[@brentbeatty4171]

I can say when I was younger I was looking to go to school for chemistry then on the opthamology and I believe that this is a good fit for me to help my family and people around me sincerely

[@JoeMullings293]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@ME-pn1ez]

Thanks for these informative and detailed video Dr. Hyman. I am a IIN health and wellness coach graduate. As such, I have to constantly explain to the general public what functional/integrative medicine is because as a “not doctor” (in conventional medicine that is… 😊) I have found difficult the “credibility” factor… So I’ve shared this video many times over to try and educate people on the subject. It is to the point, clear, simple yet thorough enough to convey the message.

[@helenstuckyweaver5778]

@@ME-pn1ez We need our own cohort of Wellness Weavers who are currently certified & recently retired professionals. Interestingly, it seems Executive Directors & elected, appointed, hired leaders in the associations & state boards regulated by government and the nonprofits are all really controlled by the large corporations that are even woven with insurance & retirement funds & care systems. 🤔🤨🥺🧐😦😯🤑

[@tknzdworldfirstidentylinke6404]

This is the future. To you science to do the testing but then food as the medicine. We need to be testing the effect of the food as well bc the soil is stripped of nutrients and things like frying and microwaves can break down the nutrients.

[@neobellator]

Great explanation and well said. This kind of practice is the future of medicine indeed. It's time we replace conventional methods! It's clearly not working out well. Too invasive, risky, expensive, possible side effects, etc. Better to get to the root cause.

[@dfwdfw9544]

It's also the past. This is rebranding of Family Medicine which always was supposed to be holistic, coordinated and preventative primary care.

What is the phone number to start in the functional medicine training?

[@nicolewilson191]

Ha, lol, whole-list-ic that was funny!

[@irishmario]

Too bad so many of us sick people can't work therefore have no or terrible government insurance that will only allow you to see a doctor for emergencies.. I'm convinced because I'm disabled and cannot work I will never get well because the best doctors are the ones that don't work with government insurance or they don't help people with no money...😔

[@enzamore8466]

Insurance doesn't even pay for anything holistic or functional medicine 😒

[@janetvansky3621]

There is no reason for us to rely upon doctors to create and maintain good health! You can watch videos like this one. You can join a Facebook group on the topic of your particular disability. You can research a healthy diet. Be your own healer.

[@Meezer]

@@enzamore8466 and I hope that no insurance pays for this marketing woo.

[@goolash9991]

The number one best thing you can do is stop eating man-made garbage (all sugar, processed anything, grain carbs) and only eat God created, Whole Foods. If you drink, stop. If you smoke, stop. Get outside as much as possible. Air out your house. Move as much as possible. These things are free, and incredibly powerful. No doctor needed to do these things.

Looking to possibly go to school for functional nutrition. I am currently a steel worker around the Pittsburgh area located in West Virginia

[@explorepositivevibes8106]

Me too. I was wondering where to start

[@kennethmoore3783]

No problem. Unlike a Registered Dietician, anyone can be a nutritionist! Education requirements: none Certifying exam: none Clinical training: none Just start calling yourself a nutritionist.

[@scarred10]

what school, you can start today because its sheer nonsense.

[@krisantonio4705]

Do it, you won't regret it and it will be a tool in your belt for the rest of your life.

[@imzaq7]

Look for different academies who help to certify you as a nutritionist, holistic health practitioner, etc and you can also look for functional medicine/nutrition such as IFM, Functional Nutrition Lab, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN), American Academy of Functional Health (AAFH), as well as some other ones! I hope this info benefits you!

Are there functional medical practioners in Australia?

[@joannetran5601]

I think in Australia, it is known as integrative medicine General Practitioner if you Google search for GP near your area. I have been going to integrative medicine GP for years on and off with good results

Does insurance cover these??

We need to pull together our own cohort and play. Let’s make a winning deal with an insurance company to show just how much it can save them and us.

[@dfwdfw9544]

Sorry but ... Isn't this what Family Medicine has been doing for decades? This sounds like repackaging the same old goods and calling it new, possibly as a way to get patients seeing more of your own providers to maximize revenue. The issues with healthcare in the US have more to do with access and affordability - and if primary care providers are not managing to coordinate care, then that is because they are overworked, understaffed and pressed by insurance companies to not spend enough time with their patients thinking about their needs comprehensively - holistically. It's the ethical responsibility of MDs and healthcare administrators to fight to fix the underlying problems with the system , but rebrand holistic primary care (e.g. family medicine) as "functional medicine.". Get marketing out of medicine.

[@myyoutubechannel3161]

This sounds like it could be possible.. hmm

Im proud to say that Indian Ayurvedic system had this Ideology since 5,000 years. But sadly you are adopting now.

[@man58652]

What doe ayurverdic system tells?

[@redbarnhomestead7384]

Are you talking about traditionally trained nutritionists? Most of what they are taught has been disproved and is harmful to some.

[@dfwdfw9544]

Ehhh. That's not true. There is an issue with the quality and design of much nutritional research, historically. But it's not that it has been disproven. The reliability of the research is weaker compared to other branches of medicine. The problem is often credited to the difficulty of designing long term studies that isolate the effects of specific foods. That is not the same as being disproven. There's still merit in what nutritional science has shown. It's just messy science - frustratingly messy.
