The critical role of mental health within functional medicine. While physical health protocols, such as nutrition and supplementation, are well-established, the mental aspect is often neglected. The importance of addressing mental well-being as a foundational element for overall health is emphasized, stressing that mental health practices should be integrated into daily routines. Incorporating mental health strategies like therapy, gratitude exercises, and mindfulness can enhance both mental and physical well-being.

The connection between the subconscious mind and trauma is explored, explaining how unresolved issues can influence behavior and health. The importance of therapies, such as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), to uncover and address these underlying issues is highlighted. By prioritizing mental health, individuals can create a strong foundation for their physical health, ultimately leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life. The discussion serves as a call to action, encouraging listeners to take proactive steps in nurturing their mental well-being.
