Join us for an in-depth conversation with Dr. Sarah Kashdan, a cancer survivor and expert in naturopathic and Chinese medicine.
Dr. Kashdan shares her "less-is-more" approach to treating complex health conditions—focusing on the profound impact of mental health and trauma on healing.
We dive into the challenges of diagnosing mold illness, including the importance of genetic predispositions. Dr. Kashdan explains why personalized care is crucial, especially when addressing symptoms related to the thyroid, adrenals, hormones, and nutrient imbalances. We’ll also cover practical tips for home testing and simple screening tools to identify environmental triggers.
Later in the episode, we explore histamine intolerance, mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and the critical role of gut health in patient care. Dr. Kashdan, a competitive powerlifter and vegan, discusses how she balances nutrition with nervous system health. Finally, we examine the differences between Western and Chinese herbal medicine and how collaboration in functional medicine improves patient outcomes.
