Description
Nutrition is foundational to health maintenance. Many chronic diseases are the result of long-latency nutritional deficiencies or imbalances. Jeffrey Bland, PhD, the guru of functional medicine and other practicing experts, explain in simple biological and nutritional terms, what functional nutrition is, and how it works. This information is well researched, growing in popularity among traditional medical practitioners, and something we need to be familiar with in the near future. For many patients, this therapy is extremely effective, more reasonable in cost, presents fewer side effects than traditional Western Medicine pharmaceuticals, and it is within their control because it entails lifestyle and food choices.
