  • His journey into dysfunction and disease
  • His introduction to functional medicine and what he calls a parallel universe he didn't realize existed 
  • The dietary changes that resulted in his dramatic improvement of his weight and health
  • How allopathic doctors and are trained and why there is a disconnect between allopathic and functional medicine
  • How allopathic medicine had good intentions but didn't provide improved health

  • The place both allopathic and functional medicine have in health care
