32 What is Functional Medicine? Dr. Sandeep Kapoor Explains

You may have heard the term "Functional Medicine" being thrown around lately, but what exactly does it mean? In this episode, we welcome back Dr. Sandeep Kapoor (Ep.7) who is incorporating Functional Medicine into his practice. Dr. Kapoor has recently taken the specialized certification courses with the Institute for Functional Medicine and explains this holistic approach of determining how and why illness occurs by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual. "I listen to my patients – rather than focusing on the presentation of the disease and its symptoms, I find out what makes them tick and what life experiences have helped to shape their health. I take the time to get to know the person as a whole." Dr. Kapoor practices Internal, Geriatric, Travel, Hospice, and Palliative Medicine in Studio City, California. http://www.kapoormedicalpractice.com/ https://www.ifm.org/ https://www.facebook.com/kapoormedical/ IG: @kapoormedical Contact Sheila with what's the most Woo-Woo thing you've ever done at [email protected] or visit www.soundmindbodypodcast.com The Sound Mind & Body Podcast is brought to you in part, by Audible - get a FREE audiobook download and 30-day free trial at www.audibletrial.com/InBound You will find over 180,000 titles to choose from and to listen to through your iPhone, Android, Kindle or mp3 player.   Support the Sound, Mind, & Body Podcast by visiting www.audibletrial.com/InBound If interested in producing a podcast of your own, like the Sound, Mind, & Body Podcast, contact Tim Edwards at [email protected]
