The Importance of Integrative and Functional Medicine

Dr. Dsouza Explains the Importance of Integrative and Functional Medicine in an Interview with Levels Health

A special treat that won’t spike your blood sugar. In fact, it will improve your metabolic health by the second!

Levels Health interviewed Dr. Dsouza for their podcast, A Whole New Level, to discuss how functional and integrative medicine differ from conventional medicine, and how those differences are making a profound impact on patient care and the future of metabolic health.

As our patients know, functional medicine focuses on patient-facing time and individual biomarkers, such as blood glucose levels. This is key in forming a comprehensive, individualized plan that will empower patients in matters of their health and well-being. 

Meanwhile, the conventional Western medicine model skips over the step of the patient-practitioner relationship.

In this video of the podcast you’ll learn: 

• How functional medicine can help address mechanisms and root causes, and why this is especially important for women.
• Why addressing the underlying mechanisms of conditions empowers patients. 
• How to fix a broken healthcare system from the point of view of a functional medicine doctor. 
• The importance of women’s health and metabolic health, and why women’s health still lacks research.
