Exploring Functional Medicine and Transformative Lifestyle with Dr. Jeffrey Bland
As we navigate through life, we encounter various health challenges that can impact our overall well-being. While conventional medicine has its benefits, there are other approaches to health and healing that are worth exploring. One such approach is functional medicine, which looks at the root cause of health issues and aims to address them holistically. And when it comes to functional medicine, Dr. Jeffrey Bland is a name that stands out.
In this episode of The Pure Pod podcast, host Arielle Alexa welcomes Dr. Jeffrey Bland, the founder of the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute and the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Bland has dedicated over five decades to the improvement of human health, contributed to education through multiple institutions, and has been a significant force behind the functional medicine movement. He is also the driving force behind his latest venture, Big Bold Health, a mission that aims to transform our approach to health at a global level.
Dr. Bland shares his journey in healthcare and what drew him to the world of functional medicine. He noticed that the focus in healthcare was almost entirely on disease, and he wanted to shift the focus to health.
