Dr. Hyman,
I was introduced to functional medicine a few years ago when I partnered with a whole foods nutrition company. I believe in this type of approach. One of my questions is how do you find a local doctor and do doctor’s practicing functional medicine accept health insurance? My other question is can you recommend books that help transition from the typical american diet to one that the body responds to better ie: raw veggies, fruits, nuts etc.
Thank you
Thank you, Lucille, for your message and your interest in Dr. Hyman’s work. To locate a practitioner of functional medicine in your area see the “Find a Functional Medicine Practitioner” link at the Institute of Functional Medicine’s website. Here you will find a place to enter your zip code and look for practitioner’s in your area that have completed the institute’s five-day training course in functional medicine. Understand that not all of the doctors listed here will fit your particular needs. Many different medical professionals complete this training, and you will have to do additional research on your own regarding a particular practitioner’s approach and whether or not it fits your specific medical requirements. This may include calling the practioner’s office, visiting his or her website, and/or scheduling a consultation.
Wishing You the Best of Health!
