🌟 Feeling immense gratitude to teach the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health General Preventive Medicine Residents (GPMR) as a course director for their community health curriculum! 🌟 It's a privilege to share my passion for integrative, precision, and functional medicine with resident physicians across various specialties, including general surgery, internal medicine, OB/GYN, and gastroenterology. 🩺✨ Integrative medicine plays a crucial role in enhancing primary and specialty care as well as public health. According to recent studies, despite advances in modern medicine, contemporary society faces epidemics of noncommunicable and infectious diseases, often related to behavior and lifestyle. Integrating conventional medicine with traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine (TCAM) can be beneficial for preventing and treating these diseases. 🌿🧘♂️ The World Health Organization has been developing standards for TCAM, highlighting its growing importance. Nearly 50% of the population in developed nations and even higher percentages in developing countries use some form of TCAM. The trends driving this integration include rising chronic diseases, high healthcare costs, and public interest in complementary approaches. 🌍📈 A recent article emphasizes the need for integrative medicine, focusing on the scientific evidence supporting these approaches. The study highlights various TCIM modalities, such as Ayurveda, Yoga, and traditional Chinese medicine, showing significant benefits for managing chronic and communicable diseases (Seetharaman, Krishnan, & Schneider, 2021). 📊📚 🌿 Let's continue to advance comprehensive care for our patients and communities! 🌿 #IntegrativeMedicine #PrecisionMedicine #FunctionalMedicine #PublicHealth #ResidentPhysicians #MedicalEducation #JohnsHopkins #CommunityHealth #HealthcareInnovation #Gratitude #MedicalTeaching --- Reference: Seetharaman, M., Krishnan, G., & Schneider, R.

This past week Root doctors and dietitians attended the Annual IFM Functional Medicine conference. At Root, we operate in a root cause model of healthcare. We see the body as connected systems that interact and communicate with each other, rather than in the silos of the specialties of conventional medicine. We’ve been using a nutrition first approach, advanced testing, putting the whole picture together to treat and prevent illness the root cause and have been refining our protocols that we personalize for each member for years. Our biggest takeaways are that - Functional medicine (& root cause medicine) is now growing rapidly across the U.S. It was impressive to see the conference & number of new practitioners and interest since our first conferences in 2015. Much of the practices we preach at Root were discussed at the conference: balancing blood sugar with our patented Root plate, strength training importance for women’s health and hormones, the vagus nerve (and limbic system involvement) can influence everything, mental health - anxiety and depression can be symptoms of root causes and need a holistic approach to address nutrients, blood sugar, gut health, microbiome, inflammation, HPA axis and stress, environment and toxins We’ll continue to support the advancement and adaptation of functional medicine for both individuals and the workplace and are excited to see this best kind of medicine gain even more traction. We agree... the future is functional!

I had the pleasure of recording a recent episode of the @drinkorgain Good Clean Nutrition Podcast with my colleague Dr. Jeffrey Bland (@drjeffreybland). He is known worldwide as the founder of the Functional Medicine movement, which represents his vision for a care model that is grounded in systems biology and informed by research. Dr. Bland began his career as a professor of Biochemistry at the University of Puget Sound and contributed to the founding and accreditation of Bastyr University. He has created the Personalized Lifestyle Medicine Institute (PLMI) and the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM), the global leader in Functional Medicine education. Some things we chat about in these episodes that I really want you to learn about are: 🌟Core principles of functional medicine, and looking at the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms 🌟Importance of personalized medicine, the intersection of traditional and functional medicine, and how modern science can rejuvenate the immune system 🌟Practical tips on nutrition, the role of diet in health, and the complexity of patient care in functional medicine One thing I LOVE that I learned from Dr. Bland? "The immune system has the capability of restoring its function. In fact, one of the little factoids that I find fascinating is that the cells that we have in our body today, our immune cells that are floating around in the various organs and tissues, and our blood, will not be the same cells that we have say four months from now. Our immune system turns over about every four months."

Diagnostics in a limited environment #diagnostic The main challenge in Health & Help Charity in Nicaragua is to make an accurate diagnosis. This is most often impossible, but I always aim to make the diagnosis as close to the truth as possible. Here I want to write about what is available to us as diagnostic methods. 1. Urine test strips. This is a cheap and accessible method of diagnosing leukocyturia, glucosuria, as well as the presence of blood and protein in the urine. It is extremely effective in diagnosing cystitis and pyelonephritis, but it is important to be highly selective to avoid overdiagnosis. 2. ECG. It is difficult to overestimate this method, because it makes it possible to do the most important thing - to confirm or exclude myocardial infarction. Unfortunately, due to the limitations of paper tape and, at times, electricity, I only record ECGs in symptomatic patients. However, under the best conditions, ECG should be performed at least once a year in every patient. 3. Ultrasound. I have not previously utilized the ultrasound procedure myself in my practice, but here the situation demands it. To this day I read and study textbooks of ultrasound anatomy and try to practice ultrasound at least 1-2 times a day. Ultrasound allows to exclude a large number of pathologies, especially neoplasms, which in turn eliminates unnecessary concern of the patient. And of course, everything depends on the professionalism of the physician, which does not give me the right to make a diagnosis on the basis of ultrasound, as I need qualifications. 4. Knowledge of internal medicine. An absolute must-have! This is where I feel grateful for all my years at university because I now use almost every lecture in my head and apply them to a variety of patients.

Biokinetics is the profession concerned with health promotion, the maintenance of physical abilities and final phase rehabilitation through scientifically-based physical activity programme prescription. Simply put, our primary function is to improve physical functioning and healthcare through exercise. Biokineticists are human- movement specialists who prescribe exercise routines either as a preventative health measure or to correct a health problem such as a sports injury or recovery from disease, operation or illness. A biokineticist is a specialized type of exercise scientist who focuses on assessing, preventing, and rehabilitating individuals with chronic diseases, injuries, or disabilities. However, as biokineticists do not diagnose medical conditions, we may refer you to your doctor, or specialist doctor or physiotherapist, if we feel the need to, in order to obtain a correct diagnosis. This allows us to understand your condition better, and therefore prescribe the correct exercises. THANK YOU MY TEAM Dr S.
