So many people these days are struggling with their health and they’re not getting the help they need or they don’t know what to do. It’s not surprising that our “healthcare” system has turned into “sick care.” 

Functional Medicine (or Root Cause Medicine) is designed to actually get you healthy. Health is NOT just the absence of disease - Health is having the resources to enjoy your life and cope with stressors and demands. 

Our guest today, Melissa Altman, is a Nurse, Health Coach, and Certified Functional Medical Practitioner at Merge Medical in Mt. Pleasant, where she helps her patients discover and treat the root causes of their health conditions and actually become healthy! In this episode she shares the most common symptoms people come to her with, the effects that stress can have on your health, and how to enjoy life and slow down in our fast paced world.
