oils on the market or in processed foods today, and suggests nutritional foods that are supportive of brain health.

Putting Patients First: Functional Medicine
Ronald Grisanti, DC, writes that people need to be seen as individuals with unique needs; he likens the physical body to an
iceberg—most of its function is below the surface of awareness. When illness arises, something below the surface is out of
balance. The functional medicine physician looks for the underlying causes of disease in order to help a patient heal.

Lifestyle Medicine and the Drug-Free Solution to Depression
Kelly Brogan, MD, specializes in root-cause-resolution medicine and lifestyle changes rather than long-term drug treatment.
She writes that optimal mental health is not possible through medication; instead a person’s health can be under their
control through the adoption of simple habits that send a signal of safety to the body.

natural curcumin from turmeric reduces inflammation and can reverse illnesses.

the most important underlying issue with regard to heart health is the reduction of inflammation with right nutrition.
