Internal medicine physician Sally Daganzo discusses her article “How functional medicine fills the gaps left by conventional care.” Sally explains how a systems-based, evidence-informed approach can uncover root causes of complex conditions like fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, digestive issues, and eating disorders, especially when standard lab tests and specialist visits fail to provide answers.
