Ep. 30: Functional Medicine or Total Scam? 5 Red Flags You Need to Know

from Diagnosis Redefined · host Erica Anderson

In this solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a topic that’s been on my heart for a while: the growing number of so-called “functional medicine” practitioners who aren’t actually practicing functional medicine at all.I can’t tell you how many clients come to us saying, “I tried functional medicine—it didn’t work.” But when they share their story, it’s clear they never experienced real functional care in the first place.In this episode, I’m walking you through the five biggest red flags to watch out for so you don’t waste your time, your money—or your hope—on someone who’s not doing it right. We’ll talk about what functional medicine really is, what it absolutely is not, and how to find someone who’s actually going to help you get to the root of what’s going on in your body.Whether you’re just starting your healing journey or you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, this episode will give you clarity and confidence moving forward.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook!https://www.instagram.com/chronically_healthyllc/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093317265924Overcome chronic illness and take back control of your health!

Normalizing Non-Monogamy - Personal Stories of Polyamory, Swinging, and Beyond Emma and Fin Hi! We’re Emma and Fin! We’re a married couple in our thirties who have been exploring non-monogamy for over 15 years. Every week we interview people from across the spectrums of gender, sexuality, and relationship styles to hear their amazing stories. Many of our guests identify as swingers or polyamorous. However, quite a few have redefined non-monogamy in their own way by creating a unique dynamic that works for them. We hope that by giving a voice to the diverse community exploring non-monogamy that we can show people they are not alone and inspire them to embrace their true selves so that, together, we can open minds and live authentically without shame.We hope you enjoy the show and who knows, maybe someday you’ll even be up for sharing your own story. We’d love to hear it!
