Welcome back everyone. We are doing something a little bit different today. I have with me here in person- Dr. Basil Kahwash, who is a Vanderbilt physician in the area of allergies and immunology.
I've gotten to know Dr. Basil through clubhouse and he's a really thoughtful person. I really appreciate his perspective and I'm grateful to have him on the show.
As your host, I feel a responsibility to show you all different types of approaches to healing and this includes traditional medicine. If you've been listening from the beginning you know that I left traditional medicine both in practice and as a patient, because it didn't solve my problem. But oh my goodness who am I to say that it won't work for you?
It didn't work for me, because it approached my issue as a one-size fits all and I'm not going to do that to you and only show you functional medicine perspectives, because healing is not a one-size fits all. I would be doing you a disservice if I did that. And traditional medicine has a lot of good qualities- I even recommend it to my clients in certain cases, when I think medication is their best option.
I also want to encourage you to befriend people who think differently than you. That's how we grow. That's how release ourselves of a fixed mindset and transition to a growth mindset.
Now, this is clearly a topic y'all care about, because I asked you all if you have any questions for Dr. Basil, and y'all sent me so many questions that I had to break them down into themes and we are going to start basic.
