In this episode, I’m thrilled to finally be joined by Margaret Floyd Barry, a good friend and the owner and Executive Director of Restorative Wellness Solutions. Today we're diving deep into what it truly means to be a functional practitioner and the nuances of functional practice itself. We'll explore critical concepts like bio-individuality in clinical practice and the startling rise of complex chronic illnesses. Margaret shares her personal journey into functional nutrition and details confonting the profound interconnectedness of our health.
