Food As Medicine, Treating the Root Cause with Dr. Kevin Smith

How can the foods we eat cause, worsen, improve or correct chronic diseases and conditions? Functional medicine practitioner Dr. Kevin Smith has been in practice since 2001, and in that time, he has seen thousands of people regain their function, restore their health, overcome imbalances, preserve their independence, and decrease their reliance on medications. Dr. Smith is quick to point out that Western allopathic medicine excels at correcting acute and emergency issues.  But in his practice, he uses expanded testing to determine what each individual likely needs to subtract or add from their eating to address the root cause of problems, and improve ongoing health.  Ramsey and Dr. Smith discussed many chronic issues including thyroid dysfunction, gut problems, and autoimmune disorders.  This is a great episode to help you understand how food acts as medicine, for better or for worse.  Learn more at metabolicsolutions.net.
