In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy is with Denise Kruszynski, a board-certified functional medicine nurse practitioner at the Institute for Neuro Immune Medicine, to talk about what is broken in modern healthcare, why complex chronic illness patients keep falling through the cracks, and what can actually be done about it.
Denise brings 25 years of clinical experience, including a decade in a level one trauma ICU, to a conversation that is both practical and urgent. She walks through why 15-minute primary care visits make root cause medicine structurally impossible, why specialist appointments offer more time but still only look at one system in a body where everything is connected, and why functional medicine, what she calls primary care 3.0, is the tier of care most patients with chronic illness have never had access to.
She also gives our community something concrete: if you feel stuck and don't know where to start, write your life down. The answers are often already in your story. You just need space and someone who will ask the right questions.
If you have been dismissed, rushed, or told your labs are fine when something clearly is not, this episode of Fast Metabolism Matters is your permission slip to expect more.
