1. Defining Functional Medicine and Longevity Medicine: What is it? What is possible? What is real? What is evidence-based? What is available on a budget?
2. Diving into Functional Medicine: Looking at our bodies from a Systems approach. Starting with the big picture and drilling down to the molecular level. What causes chronic illness? What prevents it?
3. Digging into what we know about how to live longer and healthier. Things you can do starting today. Taking what we know and putting it into practice. Can longevity happen on a budget?
