A Functional Approach to Chronic Fatigue
Chronic Fatigue - this condition can go much further than just being tired. Listen in and hear what this condition means at a cellular level, plus get my recommendations for supplements that can help!
Fibromyalgia - Chronic Pain That Can Be Helped!
Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition that causes widespread pain and tenderness in the body, and often comes with chronic fatigue as well. If you are suffering from fibromyalgia, you may be interested in an approach that does not require prescription medications. Functional Medicine looks for the root cause of health issues so help the body get back into balance.
A Deep Dive into the Neurology of Chronic Pain
Regardless of whether you have chronic neck or back pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, or other conditions, the process of pain perception in the brain is largely the same. In this episode I will discuss not only a few supplement-based therapies, but how the suffering from pain is largely an emotional concept. Many cases of chronic pain can effectively be helped through working on emotional stagnations.
Struggling with Brain Fog? Think Clearly Again!
Brain fog is a surprisingly common complaint I hear from patients. This frustrating symptom often stems from brain inflammation, which slows cognitive function. An inflamed brain is a slow brain. It produces the “fog” we feel when trying to get out a thought, a word, or retrieve a memory. While the root causes vary and require a thorough evaluation, nutritional and herbal approaches can help reduce inflammation and improve mental clarity.
Supplements to Improve Brain Fog
Dr. Jim has put together this helpful collection of high quality, therapeutic supplements that can help with "brain fog." He explains the benefits of each one, and provides a link to FullScript where they can easily be ordered.
Fighting Nasty Viruses, Functionally
In this 73rd episode I come to you in recovery from sickness. It started with my daughter, then to my wife, and then on to me. Like it does when living in close quarters.
Today I offer a short update on my health status, a little background on what my family has been experiencing (apparently COVID-19 as of positive tests this morning), a little reminder that it is okay to sit still sometimes and do nothing, and some nutraceutical/supplement advice for immune support as both preventative or therapeutic actions if sick with a virus.
We will discuss Vitamin D, Glutathione, Vitamin C, and other anti-viral support.
