According to Dr. Wendy Warner in her article on the Dr. Oz blog “Nutrition isn’t addressed well in medical school, and although we learn the basic biochemistry of hormone production and metabolism, the treatments we are taught don’t seem to take that science into account. That’s where a functional medicine approach comes in handy.”
