Wellness: Fact vs. Fiction

Functional “Medicine” - Fake Diagnoses & Predatory Tests (Part 1)Join Dr. Danielle Belardo and her double dose of experts this week, registered dietitian Dr. Kevin Klatt and board certified family physician Dr. Spencer Nadolsky. This trio is fired up and ready to debunk their favorite controversial topic, functional medicine. The world of social media has created a lot of movement in alternative spaces of medicine and nutrition, and it is hard to tell fact from fiction as it “feels” and “sounds” a lot like real medicine. With the claim to address the root cause of illness and restore health, you would think this practice would be standardized with a list of guidelines, but it’s not, and that can be a very slippery slope. On today’s episode, Danielle, Spencer, and Kevin dive into the predatory nature of integrative health practitioners, how more lab tests are not always the answer, and which fake diagnoses you deserve to know the truth about. Dr. Kevin C. Klatt, PhD, RD is a nutrition researcher and registered dietitian who provides individualized medical nutrition therapy and health coaching to patients/clients. Dr. Klatt completed his doctoral work in nutrition at Cornell University and his dietetic training at the National Institutes of Health. He is currently a researcher at the Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Spencer Nadolsky is an obesity and lipid specialist physician who focuses on exercise and nutrition as medicine. He earned a degree in Exercise Science from the University of North Carolina and completed his medical degree at Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (Virginia Tech Campus). His residency training was done through the VCU-Riverside Family Medicine program. He is also the creator of LiftRx. Myths and misconceptions discussed include: Functional medicine “diagnoses” including adrenal fatigue, mold toxicity and leaky gut syndrome Drugstore lab tests and food sensitivity tests Hormone optimization and hypothyroidism Thank you so much for taking the time to contribute to a generation that values fact over fiction!
