This week on  “The Beats with Kelly Kennedy”,  we revisit a foundational bio-regulaory episdoe with Dr. Ralf Oettmeier to discuss the difference between Bioregulatory medicine and functional medicine. Kelly and Ralf talk about the limitations of functional medicine, the intelligence of our immune systems, and our body’s ability to adapt. Dr. Oettmeier explains why he combines medical and dental care in the same facility and how the lymphatic system plays a key role in determining the health of our immune system.
