Sponsored by the Institute for Functional Nursing. Learn more about our programs at fxnursing.com Functional Medicine is meant to be about healing the root cause, not just managing symptoms—but not every provider or clinic claiming to practice “FM” is truly doing it. In this powerful episode, I share a personal (and fully permitted) story about a loved one who finally sought Functional Medicine help—only to end up in a clinic focused more on selling expensive labs and supplements than offering real clinical strategy, support, or individualized care. This isn’t about calling out individuals. It’s about protecting patients—especially those who are vulnerable, overwhelmed, or desperate for answers. I've had this same type of conversation with hundreds of RNs and NPs, and its an all too common problem. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, searching for integrative support, or trying to help a loved one who’s struggling, this conversation will help you understand how to identify red flags, ask the right questions, and recognize when a provider isn’t truly practicing root-cause Functional Medicine.  Learn how to vet Functional Medicine providers Discover the red flags of “brand-based” FM vs. process-based FM Understand why supplement-heavy protocols often miss the mark Explore the importance of patient readiness before starting care See why IFM training is a valuable (but not foolproof) signal If you're looking for ethical, effective, and personalized root-cause care—this episode is for you. In This Episode: Signs a clinic may be using "Functional Medicine" as a sales tactic Why supplement-first protocols often backfire How to ask better questions before spending thousands The role of readiness in healing (and how to support someone who’s not ready yet) The value of proper Functional Medicine training (like IFM)  If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.
