Defining Functional Medicine
“Functional medicine is a science-based, personalized healthcare approach that assesses and treats underlying causes of illness through individually-tailored therapies to restore health and improve function.”

Functional Medicine Tenets
Each person is unique.
Everything in the body/system is interconnected.
The body's natural, default state is one of wellness.
Dis-ease precedes disease and is evidence of imbalance, blockage, and/or impairment in natural functioning.
The root cause and the complaint may be distant from one another (in the body, in time, in the biochemistry).
The collection of root causes of dis-ease in the body is unique for each person. Effective medicine is customized for each person.
Wellness includes the entire patient experience(physical, mental, emotional, spiritual).
The patient's active participation and belief in their healing are central to their ability to get (and remain) well.
All modalities that bring greater balance, ease, and flow to the patient are a key part of their unique healing journey and ongoing “health care”.

Dis-ease precedes disease and is evidence of imbalance, blockage, and/or impairment in natural functioning.
The root cause and the downstream dis-ease may be distantfrom one another (in the body, in time, in the biochemistry).
The collection of root causes of dis-ease in the body is unique for each person. Effective medicine is customized for each person.

Etiology of Dis-ease in the Gut
Deficiency-Driven Dysfunction
–e.g. anemia, neuropathy, depression, headache
Gastrointestinal Dis-ease
–e.g. IBS, constipation, belching, bloating
GI-origin Inflammation
–e.g. osteoarthritis, asthma, migraine, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, eczema, intestinal permeability
Autoimmune Dis-ease
–Hashimoto's thyroiditis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis

Many, Many Ways….
Pathogenic microbes (e.g. parasite, bacteria, yeast). Perhaps compounded by toxins secreted by the microbes
Dysbiosis (an imbalance in indigenous, human gut bacteria OR species of bacteria in the wrong place in the gut)
Food? (that looks a little too much like a toxin, allergen, or foreign invader e.g. processed, refined, homogenized, hybridized, pesticide-laden, GMO)
Toxins and Insults (e.g. pesticides, Red #40, birth control pills, NSAIDs, artificial sweeteners, chlorinated tap water, mercury, alcohol)
Malnourishment (e.g. Maldigestion, Malabsorption, Magnesium for motility, B12 and B6 for nervous system, Vitamin D for tight junctions, Amino acids to nourish villi)

Teach Eating Hygiene
● Chewing. Ideally until food is nearly liquid. The only part of our entire digestive function that is voluntary!
● Sit down. Breathe. Relax. Engage the parasympathetic nervous system.
● We tend to gulp our food and wash it down with drinks. Excessive liquid and large meals can dilute stomach acid.
● Allow at least 20 minutes to give hormones time to signal satiety (e.g. cholecystokinin).
● Allow room at the top of the blender for digestion to take place. Eat to 80% fullness.
● Perhaps consider the act of eating as not onlyself-care but perhaps a meditation in itself.
● Don’t graze. Allow the gut to have its naturally designed cleansing waves.

Carbohydrates, Blood Sugar, & Insulin

Cellular Energy: Out of Gas!
●In a healthy cell, insulin opens a cell's glucose transporters in the cell membrane. This allows glucose into the cell to be used for fuel.
●In an insulin-resistant cell, insulin receptors are inefficient at binding with insulin. Thus less glucose makes it into the cell. And more sugar is stored as fat.

The Mighty Adrenals and Master Hormones
Inner Adrenal Medula layer produces
the catecholamine hormones:
epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Secretion is directly controlled by central
nervous system. Also called adrenaline and noradrenaline.
Outer Adrenal Cortex layer produces
steroid hormones, primarily corticosteroids
and androgens. Secretion is controlled by
releasing hormones from the pituitary gland
(which is controlled by the hypothalamus)
in response to our environment.
● High levels of cortisol, epinephrine, and
norepinephrine secretion work together to trigger
sympathetic nervous system response in the body.
● Modern western world has an epidemic of Sympathetic Dominance?

Two Nervous System Modes
Sympathetic
● Fight-or-Flight
● Increased focus and alertness
● Increased metabolic activities to prepare body for emergency activity
● Designed to be short-term exceptions for survival
Parasympathetic
● Rest-and-Digest
● Relaxed external muscles. Increased digestive activities to store energy for future use
● Designed to be our primary state
Most organs and glands in the body have receptors to receive impulses from both modes (either inhibitory to “stop work” or stimulatory to “work harder”)
● Thyroid hormone function can be dramatically affected by cortisol levels.
● In turn this affects cellular energy production *everywhere* in the body.
