91. Functional Medicine in Optometry with Dr. Christina Gratkowski
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Christina Gratkowski, an optometrist who blends functional medicine with eye care to uncover the root causes of chronic eye conditions. With functional medicine gaining momentum—especially among younger generations seeking answers beyond traditional treatments—Dr. Gratkowski shares why this whole-body approach is transforming the healthcare conversation.We dive into how gut health, inflammation, and systemic imbalances often show up as eye symptoms, and why optometrists are in a unique position to spot early signs of internal dysfunction. From skin conditions like eczema and rosacea to persistent dry eye, Dr. Gratkowski explains how functional medicine offers long-term solutions by addressing the "why" behind the symptoms.The Four Eyes Podcast is brought to you by YoungOD ConnectDownload Dr. Gratkowski’s e-book on healing eczema around the eyelids through nutrition and lifestyle
