I didn't come to functional medicine through a textbook—I came to it through my own story. Trained in traditional medicine and raised in a family of physicians, I trusted the conventional model completely. But years ago, I began experiencing severe brain fog, neuropathy, rashes, and other unexplained symptoms. I saw specialist after specialist, yet instead of answers, I was given treatments that never addressed the root cause. Eventually, I uncovered what had been missed all along: significant mold-related illness. That moment changed everything. It led me to functional medicine—a different way of practicing that looks deeper, connects the dots, and focuses on why symptoms are happening in the first place.
