Hey Functional Friends, welcome back to the Holistic Savage Podcast! Today’s episode is extra special because I’m sitting down with Jim LaValle, a total legend in the functional medicine world and someone I’ve admired since my early days with Lifetime Fitness. Jim’s now the chief scientific officer at Lifetime and his resume in this space is seriously off the charts. We explore the evolution of functional medicine, how fitness plays a role, and all the juicy details on making informed clinical decisions.
