The Year of Connection & Quorum Sensing with Dr. Zach Bush (Clip)
From my experience functional medicine doctors charge way too much and are just gatekeepers. People go to functional medicine doctors after being waxxed by traditional western medicine. Then they get charged an arm and a leg to be talked down to
I don't know about this. Too much demagogy and what? Eat broccoli ? Eat veggies? Everybody knows - no sugar and no carbs.
Supplementing with Iodine solves all these issues.
scam
This was one of the most informational videos I have seen. I wish my western doctor would watch it and learn something. Thank you for confirming what I have felt all along. I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago with fibromyalgia which was really the triad of hashimotos, adrenal insufficency and gut issues IBS and SIBO however western medicine doesn't agree with me because certain labs like TSH didn't show it but my symptoms always have. A lot was triggered by my PTSD and wrong diet. I am eating a high fat carnivore diet and supplementing with iodine for the last 30 days and I have already cleared my IBS and SIBO. Eating butter when I get stressed has dramatically helped my adrenal insufficency.
God click bait
I am super excited about the new direction the Functional forum is taking. Vagus nerve health, as well as overall nervous system regulation, are key players in helping our body to help itself.
Get rid of sugar from your diet. And I'm not referring only to the pseudo-foods people think of with added sugar, like cake, cookies, ice cream. All carbs are broken down into sugar in order to be utilized by the body. All carbs. Grains, dairy, fruit, root veggies. It's all sugar. If someone wants to get rid of any thyroid problems, just ditch the carbs. Works like a charm.
I have chronically low levels of cortisol..... all types, including metabolized so what is that?
Darwin was a total Dunce The Microbiome is evidence of Creation right there. The total ying yang balance Construct Feed and nurture it and it will nurture you All my ills ceased once I understood this principle
(an informed hypothesis) Blood sugar spikes (among other factors) wash out the vascular endothelial glycocalyx. This is a structure that is not shown in medical textbook illustrations. It is only recently that it has been visualized in vivo. The glycocalyx acts as a shield for the endothelial layer. It is also a 'flow sensor' and controls the release of Nitrous Oxide (NO) for BP control (vasodilation). It takes the glycocalyx multiple hours to recover. With the shields down, the endothelial layer is exposed to toxins, oxidized products and LDL remnants. Continuous consumption of carbohydrates never allows the glycocalyx to fully recover. It is a one-two punch, a binary explosive. Excess inflammatory factors *WHILE* the shields are down. If you study just one factor, you might miss it (as was clearly stated ~ 400). Why would we have such a fragile structure for these mechanisms that protect us? The flight-or-fight response. "Adrenaline (later, cortisol continues the response) is released which triggers the release of blood sugar (glucose) and fats from temporary storage sites in the body. These nutrients flood into the bloodstream, supplying energy to all parts of the body." The glycocalyx is washed out, preventing the release of NO and causing blood pressure to rise as heart rate and blood flow increase. That gets the energy and hormones to every nook and cranny of every capillary. This does increase our exposure to the {toxins}, but _Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures._ Being in that state chronically (for one example, sleep apnea) is deadly. thanks the video!
I’m a 55 yo male who has been psychiatrically misdiagnosed. Now I’m being evaluated for thyroid disease after being treated for a fibro for the last year. Everything this discussion hits on is power towards healing
Yep, Gluten dairy soy!
I love this explanation
I find this subject really interesting, I am a qualified OPD was a band 6 but left that to retrain in multiple therapies and work as a complementary therapist CNHC registered. Love to learn functional medicine as it has worked for me and I am so passionate about it. Wondered what qualifications you need to do a course in functional medicine? This was very interesting to listen to although it’s 7 years old. I really believe the NHS should have a functional doctor in every GP practice. It would greatly help many people in this country, as privately it is extremely expensive and out of many people’s monthly expenditure.
What's her name
Wonderful lecture!
Hypothyroidism Hashimotos runs in my family. I noticed something was wrong with me in my teens. Things gradually got worse and 20 years later major symptoms. Got started on Levothyroxine and about 2 months later my social anxiety almost completely went away. My social anxiety was so bad before. It progressively got worse and eventually became extremely bad and noticeable. Got diagnosed with anxiety and was given medication, but it didn’t do anything. Fixing my thyroid cured my anxiety! We need more studies on this so people can get the help they need. Doctors need to be aware of the causal effect between thyroid disease and mental illnesses. Among other things I also developed weight gain, hair loss, cold sensitivity, extreme fatigue, tiredness and over sleeping. Those all went away with thyroid medication and I feel so much better.
Very interesting information! Would it be possible to put a link to the slides so they can be read? The room's lightning makes it impossible to read them from the video.
Rip💯💯💯🍃
I have had my thyroid removed due to cancer, since then I have been bouncing from hypothyroidism to hyperthyroidism for the last 7 years. I know I’m a rare exception so I don’t want to discourage anybody, but I just wanted to see if anybody else might have a similar situation or any answers? It’s been hard. My next step is to try to get liquid thyroid medicine to see if I can level by better absorption.
People should be told whether you think they have funds or not, giving people the authority of a professional opinion to justify the spend is everything. Poverty is about choices between two or 100 essential demands, health is paramount and we want our health but we cannot make the selfish choice unless we are told it is necessary.
I heard she's a chief resident now! 🔥
I have hosimoto’s for 8 years and have been told to wait and see. Now a doctor is saying that I am bipolar. I know it’s my hosimoto’s. It is so frustrating.
Love them redheads.
I went carnivore for three months first 2 weeks down for the count but then the rest of the 3 months I felt like my old self from what seems like no, that had been a very long time..I felt so good,energized ,functional,brain fog disappeared, skin looked better ,it was against everything id ever believed was good nutrician..all I had was beef ,salt and water.but cheated with coffee .no sugar cravings and I off the wall quit drinking beer I could tell the cigarettes were going soon but stopped after 3 months.i do iodine and selenium but doesn't seem to do alot but carnivor did
great - now everyone is going to self diagnose themselves with thyroid problems. The pendulum swings!
Even with a TSH which was at 7 they did not care. As a male with already two autoimmune diseases it pissed me off.
Very informative ,an eye opening one! Thank you very much
Sir, what happened after taking steroid Prednisone for one month and stopped quickly. Vitamin d only 5.
Due to sudden stopped Prednisone steriod after one month, what happens in body. Vitamin d only 5. Low energy. What to do, Sir? Is is related to leaky gut or adrenal gland fatique
What a brilliant doctor. RIP Dr Gonzales 🙏
Please don't forget to mention C Diff Infection as the beginning of gut/brain dysfunction. This one wipes you out!
These "doctors" lost all of their credibility from making dramatic, unfounded, emotional statements driven by their dogma. The one doc saying "people looking for the easy way out". This woman knows NOTHING about obesity. The other one saying "this is going to be a hot mess". Assumptions based on their world view- not the data. Also the poorly framed comments suggesting people on the GLP medicines are not doing other things to support their health (i.e. resistance training) An assumption! People who lose significant weight PERIOD lose muscle...so of course thr resistance training should be a component for anyone losing weight. A lot of fat phobia underlying this. And the nerve of the natropathic community accusing anyone of a moneygrab??? The irony!
I still can't find a doctor in Albuquerque that agrees with that TSH level! If I could, I would move back to California where my doctor got my levels down. I felt so good there!
Who is this Doctor. I can’t find a name
It’s in the description below video.
Dr. Vincent Pedre
I think she has good things to say but I think it's awfully sketchy that she is a doctor selling her very overpriced sunflower lecithin.
I have the most symptoms of hyperthyroidism but i also have brain fog, concentration problem and impaired memory what could be the reason?
00:03 Introduction to Functional Forum 02:30 Host James Maskell introduces the 98th episode of the Functional Forum. Upcoming events and topics, including mold and the integration of functional medicine into health systems, are highlighted. The Functional Forum Communities project is discussed, aiming to connect practitioners and foster a primary care network. Specialization in Tick-Borne Illnesses 08:21 Dr. Sanjay Schweig and Dr. Jacob Leone are introduced as specialists in tick-borne illnesses. The increasing awareness of Lyme disease and its treatment challenges are discussed. Dr. Schweig shares his personal journey into specializing in Lyme disease due to his wife's illness. Geographic Spread of Lyme Disease 16:55 The panel discusses the progression of Lyme disease across the United States. The controversy over the prevalence of Lyme disease in different regions is addressed. The role of the CDC and the discrepancy between their data and the experiences of clinicians are examined. Treatment Strategies for Lyme Disease 25:27 The complexity of treating Lyme disease and the importance of addressing multiple body systems are emphasized. The necessity of using antimicrobials in conjunction with other functional medicine approaches is discussed. The challenge of treating patients who have seen multiple providers and the importance of individualized treatment plans are highlighted. Categories of Lyme Disease Practitioners 33:22 The spectrum of practitioners treating Lyme disease, from conventional to Lyme literate MDs, is outlined. The importance of using a broad toolkit, including antibiotics and botanical medicines, is stressed. The panel discusses the need for a balance between aggressive treatment and maintaining patient health. Diagnostic Challenges in Lyme Disease 42:08 The limitations of lab tests for Lyme disease and the importance of clinical diagnosis are discussed. The role of the Horowitz questionnaire in screening for Lyme disease is explained. The panel encourages all practitioners to become Lyme literate to better serve their patients. Pulsing Antibiotics and Herbal Treatments 50:37 The concept of pulsing antibiotics as a treatment strategy is explained. The panel discusses the benefits of herbal treatments, including their broad spectrum of action and synergy with antibiotics. Specific herbs that have shown effectiveness against Lyme disease and co-infections are mentioned. The Role of Community in Lyme Disease Treatment 58:44 The importance of community support for Lyme disease patients is emphasized. The panel discusses the potential for technology and data tracking to improve chronic illness management. The connection between Lyme disease and biotoxin illness, such as mold exposure, is explored. Closing Remarks The panel wraps up the discussion, reiterating the importance of a comprehensive approach to treating Lyme disease. The upcoming 99th Functional Forum and the focus on mold and immunology are mentioned. The panel expresses gratitude to the sponsors and the community for their support.
Epigenetics seem to make the claim that our diseases do not have a genetic component, and blaming genetics appears to be based in fraud because it is a means of making people believe they cannot change their health issues, but the doctor can give you a treatment. People are realizing their diseases have a root cause, and it is mainly a poor diet, and also chemicals/drugs/shots, and finally environmental exposures. You need a clean water source as well.
What did he think about food supplements? I have spent a lot of $ on them over the years since 1979, but I stopped completely 18 months ago, and I seem to be doing better. I also changed to a raw fruit and vegie diet with hydration just drinking water. I gave up all caffeine, and alcohol as well. It has been quite easy. I avoid all restaurant food, and I only eat cooked food a few times a week. If I had to guess I would say that 98% of "food supplements" are not really supplementing like we have been led to believe. To add supplements to a SAD diet is ridiculous as an example.
I am happy this psychiatrist came into my feed on Instagram while I was fuming against my inept colleagues in my gerontology class and who promote medication! I actually think the victims of prescribing and of doctors and psychologists in general need to do a class action suit against the licensing bodies… there is no other way… because we already have decades of science on what is causing illness and most doctors and therapists refuse the science snd should be held criminally responsible for preventable deaths… there is a certain type of personality that you can see among the bad doctors and therapists and then in politics, trade, finance, banking (those who destroy economies with financial speculations and order the bombing of foreign countries) : avoidant attachment style, characterized by gaslighting, denial and dissociation from body and humanity. This is on CDC’s website, but only a small Percentage of doctors consider it in their practice: “ Relationship of childhood abuse and household dysfunction to many of the leading causes of death in adults. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study V J Felitti et al. Am J Prev Med. 1998 May.” Physiology is dictated by the emotional self, which forms in the preverbal period: “ The sustained qualities of children's emotional experiences during the first 2 years of life have a decisive influence on the way they feel, and hence on how they behave, for the rest of their lives … the developmental/epigenetic effects of early social affective experiences probably influence many higher as well as lower brain functions.” (Jaak Panksepp, Affective Neuroscience) The first environment is the uterus and the second is the Family. Plus you carry the legacy burdens (the trauma of your ancestors - as per UCLA psychiatrist Daniel Siegel, up to 7 generations, from research done so far). There are ways of removing bad parenting from the nervous system but the mainstream hydra promotes cognitive behavioral modalities, as if the cause were cognitive and not three levels deep into neuroception or the unconscious perception of the environment by the autonomous nervous system as safe or dangerous, interoception, emotions, feelings: brainspotting, Deep Brain Reorienting, Internal Family Systems, EEGer or LENS neurofeedback, Safe and Sound Protocol… No parent or grandparent etc traumatizes on purpose, but it takes very little to traumatize a developing brain… see the still face experiment at Harvard and the Family Pathways Study at Harvard (suicidality caused by an withdrawing mother; no violence is needed, just neglect).
How do I find a DO that does these group visits in my area?
thank you.
This information came through so fast. Its very dense. The speaker is highly knowledgeable. Thank you
My health insurance company (CIGNA) answered when I asked them about referrals to a FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE DOCTOR they said "THERE IS NO SUCH DISCIPLINE IN MEDICINE". LOL LOL LOL Well, they are so helpful, aren't they. SHEESE.
Very sensible!
Than you so much.
