Chiropractic Inculdes Nutritional Advice to Optimize Innate Immunity!
COVID-19 has had an incredible impact on all of our lives, with over 17
million confirmed cases worldwide to date. In the United States, up to
20% of infected individuals are hospitalized and those with a chronic
disease are at an exponentially higher risk of hospitalization than
someone who is metabolically healthy. Unfortunately, only 12% of us in
the U.S. are metabolically healthy. So one of the best things we can do
for our individual bodies, and our collective body is to fix our
metabolic health as fast as possible.
In every infection, there are two factors at play: the microbe and the
host. While we can’t control the microbe, we have extraordinary control
over us, the host. This is why it is so important to support your immune
system so you are more resilient to infection.
In this episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Boham to discuss
how we can build resiliency to both prevent poor outcomes and recover
from COVID-19 using the principles of Functional Medicine.
Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices functional
medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice
and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of
optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every
day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to
utilize nutrition in healing. Dr. Boham has contributed to many articles
and wrote the latest chapter on Obesity for the Rankel Textbook of
Family Medicine. She is part of the faculty of the Institute for
Functional Medicine and has been featured on the Dr. Oz show and in a
variety of publications and media including Huffington Post, The
Chalkboard Magazine, and Experience Life. Her DVD Breast Wellness: Tools

approach to keeping your breasts and whole body well.
