Description

Looking beyond Symptoms to find the root cause of dis-ease and reverse it through functional medicine The Westfield Mayor's Wellness Campaign is proud to bring you the first of many events: GUT HEALTH & FOOD SENSITIVITIES A Functional Medicine Perspective What is Functional Medicine & what will be discussed? If the leaf of a plant were turning brown, we wouldn't necessarily focus on the leaf to improve the color. We would consider it’s water intake, sunshine & the soil. We would look at the plant’s total environment. This is precisely how functional medicine differs from conventional medicine. In functional medicine we are not looking to only improve symptoms, we are looking to find the root cause of dis-ease and reverse it. In this presentation we will be discussing gut health, food sensitivities & identifying some common root causes of “dis-ease”. Samples of various tests will be on site to explore. About the speaker: Cheryl Schmid has been a Speech Language Pathologist for 25+ years. But when she and her twin 5 year old daughters were diagnosed with celiac and then SIBO, many years ago: she was forced to take the unconventional route to healing. She found heath again in Portland, Oregon with a functional medicine practitioner after years of no progress. Cheryl was driven to learn this type of natural medicine and went back to school to become a certified functional medicine practitioner herself. She is now passionate about getting the word out.
