    🩸 Sickle Cell Disease: Causes & Natural Support | Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins

    In this episode of Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins, we take a closer look at Sickle Cell Disease—a serious genetic blood disorder that affects oxygen delivery throughout the body.Sickle cell disease causes red blood cells to become rigid and crescent-shaped, restricting circulation and leading to pain crises, organ damage, infections, and long-term complications. Because oxygen delivery is impaired, many symptoms stem from chronic oxygen deficiency and inflammation.Dr. Robins explains: • What sickle cell disease is and how it develops • Why oxygen transport is central to understanding the condition • How impaired circulation contributes to complications • The inflammatory and vascular components involved • Natural strategies that may support circulation and cellular oxygenationThis episode provides insight into the root mechanisms behind sickle cell disease and explores supportive approaches through functional medicine principles.👉 Subscribe to learn from Dr. Howard Robins—combining functional medicine, ozone therapy, and decades of clinical expertise to help restore health naturally. ‪@DoctorHowardRobins‬

    ❤️ Prevent & Treat Heart Disease, Attacks & Failure | Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins

    In this episode of Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins, we address one of the most serious health challenges today: heart disease, heart attacks, and heart failure—and how these conditions can be prevented, treated, and even reversed naturally.Heart disease is a broad term covering conditions that affect the heart and blood vessels, most commonly caused by plaque buildup (atherosclerosis) that narrows arteries and restricts blood flow. This process can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart is suddenly blocked, usually by a blood clot. Heart failure develops when the heart muscle becomes weakened or stiff and can no longer pump enough oxygen-rich blood to meet the body’s needs—causing symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, and swelling.Dr. Robins explains the root causes behind cardiovascular disease, why conventional approaches often focus only on symptoms, and how functional medicine strategies can safely and effectively support heart health. This episode covers prevention-first strategies as well as natural treatment approaches designed to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and support long-term cardiovascular function.👉 Subscribe to learn from Dr. Howard Robins—combining functional medicine, ozone therapy, and decades of clinical expertise to help restore health naturally.  ⁨@DoctorHowardRobins⁩

    🦶How to Relieve Foot Pain & Avoid Surgery with Orthotics | Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins

    In this episode of Functional Medicine with Dr. Howard Robins, we explore how biomechanical orthotic devices can play a critical role in the prevention of foot surgery and the effective treatment of painful foot conditions. Biomechanical orthotics are custom-designed medical devices, not generic shoe inserts. They are prescribed after a detailed analysis of how you walk and how your feet function. Using casts or advanced measurements, these orthotics are designed to correct abnormal foot mechanics, improve alignment, and redistribute pressure—helping to reduce pain and prevent injury. Dr. Robins explains how improper foot mechanics can contribute not only to foot pain, but also to problems in the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. By correcting excessive or abnormal motion at the foundation of the body, biomechanical orthotics can significantly improve movement, reduce inflammation, and help patients avoid unnecessary surgical procedures. This episode is essential for anyone suffering from: Chronic foot pain Plantar fasciitis Heel pain Arch pain Knee, hip, or back pain linked to foot mechanics Recommended foot surgery they’d like to avoid 👉 Subscribe for more expert insights from Dr. Howard Robin : ‪@DoctorHowardRobins‬
