The Doctor Youn Show

What’s the difference between functional medicine and conventional medicine? While conventional medicine focuses on interventions, such as medications and surgery, to tackle acute and chronic medical issues, functional medicine is focused on finding the underlying root causes of illness. A relatively new field that is practiced by physicians, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, naturopaths, and others, functional medicine often combines dietary and lifestyle changes to enact profound improvements in health. So how can functional medicine help you optimize your hormones? On this episode of The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show, I’m joined by the author of Your Longevity Blueprint, a guide to optimal health, specifically hormone health, which focuses on the principles of functional medicine. She shares with us simple tips to naturally optimize hormones, the difference between how your body reacts to natural vs. synthetic hormones, top nutrients to boost estrogen metabolism, and a whole lot more. Please join me and Dr. Stephanie Gray as we reveal How Functional Medicine Can Help Optimize Your Hormones.   Link: www.yourlongevityblueprint.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Thyroid disease is a major issue in the United States. An estimated 20 million Americans suffer from thyroid disease, and up to 60% of them are unaware that they even have it. Traditionally physicians have treated thyroid disease using medications, radioactive iodine, and even surgery. But scientists and doctors are now finding that the key to thyroid health just might lie in a simple chemical – iodine! In this episode of The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show, I’m joined by one of the country’s most prominent naturopathic endocrinologists who has just written a book called “The Thyroid Reset Diet.” He’s discovered that the key to thyroid health- whether you are hypothyroid, have Hashimoto’s, or other thyroid issues- lies in your exposure to iodine. We dive into the research and give you answers from a truly integrative approach. Please join me and my good friend, Dr. Alan Christianson, as we reveal How to Reset Your Thyroid by Changing Your Diet.   Link: www.invisibleiodine.com Learn more about your ad choices.

I decided to change things up a little bit on this week’s episode of The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show. Instead of a traditional style interview, I thought it’d be fun to play a game of Would You Rather with a dermatologist friend of mine. Would you rather have too much Botox or too much filler?  Would you rather have to treat a Real Housewife or a Kardashian? Would you rather be addicted to topical steroids or lip balm? I have a ton of these, and we’ll both answer them, so you’ll see where a dermatologist compares to a holistic plastic surgeon. It’s a fun but educational episode. Please join me and Dr. Dustin Portela as we play a game of Would You Rather.

Since March, Covid-19 has dominated all of our lives. Rumors, false beliefs, and conspiracy theories have abounded. Are people really getting as sick from Covid as the media is portraying? If you’re young and healthy, are you immune from dying? Will a mask help prevent you from getting infected? There are tons of so-called “experts” spouting their beliefs on social media. So who should you believe, and what is the truth regarding Covid? To answer all these questions, I’ve asked a local pulmonologist / critical care physician to join me on the podcast today. He’s been on the front lines taking care of Covid patients at my hospital since the pandemic started. He has no website, no social media handles, and no books or supplements to sell you. He just wants to tell the truth about Covid-19 and help people get better. This is a podcast that I believe everyone should listen to.  Please join me and Dr. Stephen Galens as we reveal The Truth About Covid-19 From a Pulmonologist / Critical Care Physician.
