Key Takeaways:

 

“Functional medicine goes upstream; it goes to look for why the problems are happening in the first place.”

 

“If this nerve (vagus nurve) isn't working correctly, then we're pushed into a state of stress of sympathetic activation of fight and flight too often too regularly. And so, we can't control inflammation and it leads to disease.”

 

“If we're breathing through our chest, we're actually even sending signals to our brain that we're in a stressed state.”

 

“You have to have more nutrient-dense foods. Your hunger is driven by your nutrient density, not your caloric density.”
