Treating the Root

When the same health struggles keep coming back in new forms, it's often because only the symptoms are being treated. In this episode, Dr. Jocelyn explains what it really means to treat the root. She introduces functional medicine, a modern systems-based approach to finding root causes, and shares why she calls traditional East Asian medicine the original functional medicine. Then she takes you inside the treatment room. You'll hear how practitioners gather information through the Ten Questions, the tongue, the pulse, and palpation, and get an introduction to muscle testing and Nutrition Response Testing. Finally, she compares these approaches with how Western medicine is usually practiced today, and explains why, for chronic problems, asking "why" matters.
