🎙️ Episode 135: What Functional Medicine Should Actually Look Like

Functional medicine can be incredibly helpful.But it can also be the wild wild west.Expensive protocols, endless supplements, unnecessary peptides, and providers who don’t look at your nutrition, training, sleep, stress, or lifestyle first can leave people feeling more confused, frustrated, and broke than when they started.So in this episode, I sat down with Laura Savino and Dr. Keegan Ziemba to talk about what functional medicine looks like when it’s actually done well.In this episode, we talk about:* Why functional medicine should be personalized, not a one-size-fits-all protocol* How coaches, dietitians, and doctors can work together to support clients better* When a coach should refer out instead of trying to “play doctor”* Why peptides, supplements, and testing are not magic if the foundations aren’t in place* How to spot red flags in the functional medicine space* Why nutrition, strength training, sleep, stress, and lifestyle still matter even when deeper issues are going on⚠️ This episode is not anti-functional medicine.It’s about using functional medicine the right way.Because root-cause care should not mean throwing thousands of dollars at random protocols.And it definitely shouldn’t mean skipping the basics.Connect with Keegan:* Website: tegrityhealth.com* Youtube: @TegrityHealth* Instagram: @keeganziembamdConnect with Laura:* Instagram: @laurajustinesavinoLoved this episode?
