Send us a text

What happens when a doctor decides to rewrite the rules of medicine? Dr. Scott Resnick shares his shift from conventional medicine to the innovative landscape of functional medicine. His own health challenges pushed him to find solutions for issues like chronic fatigue and hormonal imbalances—areas where traditional approaches often fall short.

Dr. Resnick explains how focusing on nutrition and detoxification helped him move beyond symptom-based treatments, emphasizing a systems-based approach that targets root causes. He highlights the importance of understanding inherited genetic factors and modern stressors—factors that play a crucial role in chronic illness.

We dive deep into the hormonal interplay of insulin, cortisol, and thyroid function. Dr. Resnick discusses how stress and poor diet destabilize these systems and explores the benefits of energy management, intermittent fasting, and smart carbohydrate use for hormonal health.

The conversation expands into hormonal therapy and managing chronic conditions like pelvic pain. Dr. Resnick stresses the value of patient education—empowering individuals to make informed health decisions by understanding their own data.

By bridging traditional and functional medicine, Dr. Resnick envisions a future where functional approaches are not just complementary but foundational in patient care. Join us as we challenge the status quo and explore a holistic, science-backed approach to healthcare.
