Patrick Hanaway, MD, a core faculty member for the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM), has been keeping a close eye on new developments and research through his involvement with the IFM COVID-19 task force. Dr. Hanaway believes the majority of people are likely to have COVID-19 at some point, and our greatest opportunity as Functional Medicine providers maybe in helping patients in the recovery process. He gives an overview of his definition of Functional Medicine and the hallmarks of a personalized approach. He discusses the importance of diet and the impact the digestive system plays in regulating the immune system.

Join Dr. Hanaway, as he discusses how an elimination diet as well as bioactives such as aloe, larch, and boswellia may help reduce leaky gut, contributing to a balanced immune response.
