E034 Functional Medicine - What is it & How Does it Work? with Dr. Candy Alopecia Life

Welcome to Episode 34 of Alopecia Life. Today, our guest is Dr. Candy Lewis Williams. She is the founder of the Lotus Concept, a Board-Certified Naturopathic Doctor, Functional Medicine Practitioner, Master Herbalist, and a thirty-five year veteran Trichologist. Her expertise as a well-known educator and guest lecturer has taken her across the US with appearances on the Dr. Oz Show as a leading expert in hair loss solutions, alternative and complementary medicine. After being diagnosed with alopecia areata 26 years ago, Dr. Candy now provides first-hand experience on autoimmune conditions and hair loss. 
So often, I hear a lot of confusion from adults, as well as parents of children living with alopecia around the topic of functional medicine. What is it? How is it different? In today's interview, Dr. Candy clarifies the differences, and she gives us an idea of what an appointment with her might look like.
