Today, on Reset Renew Revive, we spoke with the father of functional medicine himself, Jeffrey Bland. He is challenging the standard of medical care with his Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute, an organization devoted to finding unique treatments for patients based upon their specific biological needs. Conventional medicine is failing the individual, because it only treats the patient’s disease without ever investigating the deeper imbalances causing it. Current standards of diagnosis fragments the body instead of considering it as an integrative system. Since this approach is based upon an obsolete understanding of the human body it can never fully eradicate symptoms in a patient because it only ever addresses one problem at a time.
Jeffrey believes that diagnosing a disease is not just the easiest part but is only the first step in treating a patient. Functional practitioners embark on a deep investigation into each patient's history, microbiome, blood work, diet, exercise, environment and so much more in order to understand the full scope of the systemic issues, instead of focusing on the subsequent symptoms.
Considering the body as an integrative system is why functional medicine is equally concerned with disease prevention. Nutrition, lifestyle and dietary supplements are so important to improving longevity in your immune system. Current medical data is based upon studies that, like conventional doctors, neglect the individual circumstances of each person involved in the study leading many doctors to mitigate the importance of proper nutrition. We are fighting to educate and improve our understanding of the body, medical data and how we treat disease. In this episode, we hope to give you hope and enlighten you on why we need this revival in medicine.
