I’m a future doctor interested in functional medicine. Since it is not the emphasis of many medical schools at the moment, where do you recommend I start? What are the steps someone interested in this field should take? I currently work in research at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF) and plan to go to medical school next. Thanks!
I just listened to your conversation with Joe Rogan and am really intrigued by several things you spoke about. I'm a 55-year-old woman with Celiac disease, Lupus SLE, and Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism. I am also a highly competitive triathlete competing at the top of my age group. My doctors are intrigued by my ability to continue to compete, although training and racing look different for me since 2021 when I was diagnosed. There are apparently not many people with Lupus racing as I do. Thankfully, my doctors are very supportive of what I do, but I am really interested in much of what you spoke about, as none of my doctors have ever talked about looking past the traditional blood work and then prescribing pills. I'm currently on Hydroxychloroquine, Azathioprine, Synthroid, and monthly IVIG infusions. What additional insights or recommendations do you have for someone in my situation?
