Today I'm speaking with Robin Berzin, MD, on the Longevity Optimization Podcast. In this conversation, we delve into the principles of functional medicine, emphasizing its focus on treating the root causes of health issues rather than just symptoms. We discuss the importance of preventive care, particularly for women, and the need for comprehensive testing to understand metabolic health, blood sugar levels, and hormonal balance. Our conversation highlights the significance of dietary interventions, lifestyle changes, and the crucial role of sleep in overall health.
