This week on Tate Talks, Jason Tate is joined by the multi-award-winning and highly respected functional medicine physician Dr. Joseph Scherger, M.D., MPH where they discuss the main tenets of the functional medicine approach as well as what patients should know to ask their doctors so that they are getting the best advice towards healing versus living a life chained to medications. Jason also shares his thoughts and sentiments about teaching amidst a pandemic and shares stories from the classroom while ending the show with a beautiful mindful breathing technique that landed him a TEDx Talk on October 2nd, 2021.
