Functional Medicine and the ROR: Return on Relationships (Part II) with Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum
Dec 7, 2022
Quote: “88% of adult Americans are considered metabolically unhealthy. Those are shocking statistics, and it’s increasing.” Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum
Functional medicine is a more patient-centred approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying the cause of the disease and not just treating symptoms with pharmaceuticals. It looks at the patient’s history and gathers information to try to find the underlying cause of the illness. Functional medicine is, thankfully, becoming much more mainstream. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum to share her experience and thoughts on why functional medicine is a better solution for combating chronic disease and lowering healthcare costs.
This was such a great interview packed with so much inspirational information that we decided to turn it into a 2-part series. Here’s the link to Part 1: https://roxannederhodge.com/functional-medicine-and-the-ror-with-dr-sandra-scheinbaum/
Sandra has been a licensed clinical psychologist for over 35 years and is passionate about transforming healthcare by training health coaches to integrate the positive psychology model of coaching with the Functional Medicine approach to reversing chronic illness. She founded the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy in collaboration with The Institute for Functional Medicine.
