In this episode of The Functional Edge, Dr. Julia Ward sits down with Daniel Chille, a functional medicine practitioner, to explore the principles of root cause medicine, the gut-brain connection, and the transformative potential of peptide therapy.
Daniel shares his "Foundation Five" pillars—Eat Right, Sleep Right, Move Right, Talk Right, and Poop Right—which form the basis of his patient-centered approach. He emphasizes that chronic disease often begins in the gut, affecting mental health, immunity, and overall wellness.
You’ll learn how stress and trauma impair digestion through the vagus nerve, why elimination is critical for health, and how advanced testing like GI-Map and Gut Zoomer can reveal hidden issues. Daniel also dives into peptide therapy for gut healing, cognitive support, and inflammation—but stresses that foundational health must come first.
Daniel Chille explains root cause medicine, the gut-brain connection, and peptide therapy—revealing how foundational lifestyle choices and advanced diagnostics support optimal health.
