Help Doc, I’m Losing My Hair! | Ep #9

I interview registered dietician, Shana Hussin. We discuss how fasting can heal the body and allow you to develop nutritional peace around food.

Items covered include:

• What the acronym PEACE stands for with respect to fasting
• Why the traditional food pyramid and dietary recommendations fail most people when it comes to losing weight
• Reversing chronic disease, and getting healthy
• How fasting will decrease gut issues like bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort and reverse chronic disease
• What it means to be a sugar versus a fat burner
• Why people become insulin resistant, what foods contribute to this problem, and how to reverse it

We also provide tips on how to add fasting into your lifestyle without major restrictions to your daily living.

A brief overview of the difference between Functional, Cellular, and Regenerative Medicine, and why it's needed for optimal patient care. The practice of medicine is typically focused on one system (ex: GI, Cardiac, Endocrine), and is symptom treatment oriented. In functional medicine we look at the patient as a whole, taking into account all modifiable lifestyle factors to prevent and treat disease. All systems are interrelated and addressed as we uncover the root cause of a symptom or disease diagnosis.

Cellular medicine approaches disease by looking at what is going on in the body at a cellular level. Cell therapies are utilized to return the cell to its natural balance.

Regenerative medicine utilizes cells and therapies to replace, repair, and optimize damaged tissue and reverse disease.

All of these medical specialties can truly help you Change The Way You Age.
