168: Mastering Functional Nutrition with Andrea Nakayama

You know by now that what you put into your body is key to your overall wellness. But paying attention to what you eat isn't only the best way to fix your ailments – it's also the best way to prevent illnesses from cropping up. My guest tonight, Andrea Nakayama, knows this better than most. After losing her husband to a brain tumor, she realized how disease-focused our medical system is and learned to focus on the individual patient. She dove into the connection between digestive health, immunity and life-debilitating diseases, and has been working in the field ever since. You'll learn: What really is functional nutrition?What really matters in your health history?How can we as individuals empower ourselves to take control of our own health? Functional nutritionist and educator Andrea Nakayama is leading patients and practitioners around the world in a revolution to reclaim ownership over our own health. Her passion for food as personalized medicine was born from the loss of her young husband to a brain tumor in 2002. She's now regularly consulted as the nutrition expert for the toughest clinical cases in the practices of many world-renowned doctors, and trains a thousand practitioners a year in her methodologies.
