Victorious in her battle with Ulcerative colitis, Dr. Sruti Lam (MD, ND, functional medicine practitioner and nutrition specialist) shares her personal testimony in how she healed naturally and without the use of conventional medicine. Although there are different possible risk factors that may cause the body to attack itself (genetics, childhood, immunizations, environmental toxins, stress, sleeping habits) Dr. Lam explains that she is most concerned with the Standard American Diet (SAD) and the effects of pharmaceutical drugs on the immune system. Conventional medicine tends to treat the symptoms of a disease, putting a bandaid on the wound. A holistic approach, in which we prevent the triggers that cause symptoms before the disease is ever present, is the true answer to curing the body. Listen in to this comprehensive interview on autoimmune causes, symptoms and solutions and discover Dr. Lam’s recommendations.
