Western medicine failed me.

It has also failed so many people I know. The more that I learn about the problems with conventional medicine, the more grateful I am for my incredible functional medicine doctor, Dr. Lekkos.

In this episode with the man who saved my life, we discuss how functional medicine is different; my healing journey through Epstein-Barr virus, chronic fatigue, and SIBO; and the many ways in which you can advocate for your own health and get to the root of your health issues.

He saved my life, and I know his tips can benefit you as well.

Today on The Platform, we talk about:

• What is functional medicine, anyway?
• The differences between functional medicine and traditional western medicine
• Kelli’s healing journey with Epstein-Barr virus, chronic fatigue, and Sibo disease
• Why it’s important to treat the causes of your illness rather than just the symptoms
• Ozone therapy and stool tests: the power of unconventional, functional treatments
• How to protect your body from harmful effects when you’re on the birth control pill
• The link between autoimmune issues and chronic fatigue
• How to advocate for your own health, even on a limited budget
• Stress and its effects on the body
• Why we have to heal emotionally before we can heal physically
