Bioenergetic Functional Medicine: Volume 1: Foundational Principles
The Time for a Revolution in Healthcare is Now.
Patients are sicker than ever and frustrated by the system. Healthcare providers are burned out and leaving the profession. Meanwhile, we are paying more and more to support a broken healthcare system that does reasonably well with acute care, trauma, and “disease management,” but fundamentally fails to make us healthier.
Bioenergetic Functional Medicine is a paradigm shift that builds off the Functional Medicine tenents and concentrates on looking at health primarily from the perspective of biochemical energy balance and metabolic function. The energy that we need to function optimally derives from the food that we eat and the efficiency by which we convert that food into usable energy. Bioenergetic Functional Medicine is a comprehensive deep dive into nutritional biochemistry and its clinical application, using the metaphor of a car to make it easily understandable.
This book is for healthcare professionals who want to augment their knowledge base and to have a career that is more satisfying. It is for nutritionists and health coaches who want to be able to better guide their clients towards pro-metabolic lifestyle choices. And it is for patients and lay enthusiasts who want a better overall understanding of how the human body functions.
