In this episode, I’m thrilled to reconnect with a dear friend, Alex Manos, (even though we’ve never hung out in person!) who is a brilliant and insightful voice in the world of functional medicine. We cover a range of topics, from taking a holistic approach to health to exploring how we can better track physiology versus root causes. We discuss building resilience — both physically and spiritually — and how practitioners can guide clients toward lasting transformation. We also explore the changing landscape of functional medicine and the resurgence of psychedelics in the context of collective awakening. Whether you’re a practitioner or simply passionate about holistic health, this conversation is packed with wisdom and practical insights you won’t want to miss!
