Medicine is undergoing a paradigm shift in the 21st century, analogous to the advances in bacteriology in the late 19th. While advances in medicine have nearly doubled our life-spans in only four generations, our quality of life has not achieved it’s full potential. Managing chronic diseases makes up 78% of our total healthcare costs, and we’re masking these illnesses with pills and temporary treatments, rather than identifying and preventing their underlying causes. Functional medicine seeks to describe the instigator of an illness, rather than treat its symptoms.
Dr. Jeffrey Bland, whose followers include Dr. Mehmet Oz, Joel Furman, Mark Hyman, David Perlmutter, Alejandro Junger, Christine Northrup, and JJ Virgin, among others, leverages a lifetime of cutting edge research and practice in integrative medicine to provide a roadmap for good health by helping us understand the root causes of chronic illness. Supported by recent advances in health science, Dr. Bland tells us how to manage chronic disease and foster lifelong health.
