Key Takeaways
- Functional medicine is personalised healthcare that identifies and treats the root cause because sometimes the root cause can be very far removed from the symptoms.
- Men and women are designed differently and there are a number of things that have to be individualised for them.
- It’s patient empowered medicine where the practitioner and patient work together on the solution.
- The philosophy is to teach you how to be healthy so you can teach your children and grandchildren how to be healthy.
- Functional medicine is everything that people want and is the only healthcare that provides a complete solution.
- Traditional medicine seeks to match the complexity of the human body but the greatest sign of sophistication is simplicity.
- The body is very sophisticated so treatment of it can be very simplistic and be very effective.
- The simpler your strategies the more you can leverage the principles of nature.
- Every animal in the world lives in a rhythmic pattern with its circadian rhythm except humans, who are the sickest animals on the planet.
- Sleep is the most powerful tool you have at your disposal along with the multiple dimensions of food.
- We should be eating what feels right to us and our genetics. Food types and intake plays a huge role in our health as food interacts with our bodies, our genetics mean this is interaction is different for every individual.
- You can never fix one system at a time you can only fix every system together.
- To heal and use the resources you supply the body with effectively your body needs to be in a parasympathetic state.
- The more parasympathetic you can get, the better you can do everything.
- The mind is very important in your perspective and in influencing the outcomes you create
- The human mind is the most important thing in the world, it’s not just about what you put into your mouth, but also what goes in through your ears and your eyes because this is what shapes your reality.
- You are the creator of your own realities, so if you are stressed you create more stress to prove your mind right.
- You are the ultimate creator of your own destiny and now is the time to do all the work you need to do, to remove all the excuses you have had and to leverage this opportunity to become the best versions of yourself.
Best Moments
‘When I explain functional medicine, people say isn’t that how medicine should be?’
It’s all about creating a generation of healthy people who are not dependant on the health service’
‘Our perception of reality is deterministic in whether we are going to be more parasympathetic or whether we are going to be sympathetic dominant, it’s all do with our mindset’
