In this episode, I’m speaking with Dr. Mel Hopper Koppelman about her powerful and unique view of medicine, a context that I believe is much more effective than the conventional or even functional medical models we’re used to.
I’m really excited to share this episode with you; Dr. Mel and I had a fantastic conversation that, if practically applied, points us in a new and much more effective direction for building true health.
In this podcast, Dr. Mel and I discuss:
How some scientists and clinicians get stuck in the “biochemical weeds” instead of working from a bigger, more accurate picture of health, aka, first principles thinking
The 2 ways we can view lab tests (blood, stool, hormone, or even organic acid tests) and why most practitioners—even functional practitioners—get it WRONG!
Why even a “good” result on a blood test might not mean much for your quality or length of life!
Her favorite tool to practically address health imbalances and disease that fits perfectly into a big-picture paradigm
The 2 metabolic classifications Dr. Mel uses to help her patients based on her deep knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine…and why other medical models aren’t able to help people with chronic fatigue and similar symptoms
