Dr. Stuart Fischbein + Midwife Blyss Young
Sarah Thompson joins us today to discuss the aspects of functional medicine and its connection to pregnancy and maternity care. Unlike conventional medicine, which largely follows a standardized educational framework, functional medicine focuses on understanding each person and creating a treatment plan to meet their specific needs. Another key feature of functional medicine is its proactive approach; it aims to address general complaints before they escalate into crises. Throughout this conversation, you will discover how functional medicine can be beneficial before, during, and after pregnancy as well.
