Get ready. We’re taking a road trip into functional medicine—the approach that looks beyond symptoms to address the root causes of health issues. You might’ve forgotten about this, but the Krebs cycle and all those suppressed memories from biochemistry are actually KEY when it comes to developing personalized healthcare. Please enjoy this episode as we barely scratch the surface of the functional biochemistry in healthcare that is so osteopathic in its nature.

It’s been on my list for a while now to create an episode about cranial osteopathy, some of the myths and stigmas and some of the cold hard truths of the matter. Hopefully you might utilize this episode as a resource and a vector to challenge some of our conceptions about things like the CRI (cranial rhythmic impulse) or the primary respiratory mechanism . I’ve done my best to keep everything as grounded as possible in the fundamentals of anatomy and physiology and I hope this content equips us all to start challenging some of the dogma we’re taught in medical school and seek out axiomatic truth. -- Basic Concepts of Brain Pathophysiology and Intracranial Pressure Monitoring

One of the beauties of osteopathy is how we pass on the marks of mentorship and the legacies of our teachers to both our patients and our colleagues. Attuned intuition, focused attention with deliberate intention, well-trained hands, grounded minds, and persistent dependence on anatomy are just a few of the lessons I got to revisit with today’s guest and one of my own mentors.
