What Your Blood Tests Won't Tell You with Pete Williams
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Simon sits down with Pete Williams, leading functional medicine practitioner, clinical educator, and founder of Functional Medicine Associates in London, to unpack what functional medicine really is and why so many people turn to it when conventional healthcare falls short.
With over 20 years of experience, Pete explains functional medicine in plain English, breaking down how a systems-based approach looks beyond isolated symptoms to understand the root causes of long-standing health issues. Together, they explore how gut health, hormones, immune function, metabolic health, stress physiology and lifestyle factors interact, and why addressing these connections often leads to more meaningful, lasting results.
