Tackling causes - not symptoms - of illness, with Pete Williams

Tackling causes - not symptoms - of illness, with Pete Williams

Want to know what's actually causing your ill health? Pete Williams, founder of Functional Medicine Associates, returns for a follow up to last week's episode to share how functional medicine can tackle the root causes of poor health rather than just treating the symptoms.


Pete reveals the importance of prioritising oral health to protect our brain health, how we can reduce inflammation in the body, and why we need a little bit of stress to stay well.


Pete also talks through methylation and how we can support this process, vitamin D deficiency, plus how fitness tracking can predict overall health and longevity.
