This week we are discussing biologics used commonly in "treating" Lupus. This episode will review some alternatives to biologics. Your body is not lacking a biologic. It's another bandaid. Get to the root cause and you will find health.
Dr. Marney Turnvill is my guest today with a remarkable story. She and her son overcame health issues when her conventional doctors didn't know how to manage them. She has since become a functional medicine provider and hasn't looked back. Dr. Marny Turvill trained at the University of Rochester and her residency at the University of Chicago. She has been a medical doctor for over 30 years. She was originally a pediatrician, then left medicine for 7 years due to her own sudden and devastating health issues. She’s had her own functional medicine practice, Outside The Pill Box, since 2013. Dr. Marny’s own illness served as a rude awakening to the reality of conventional medicine – it has evolved to manage illness with life-long pharmaceuticals and surgery and has no real tools for restoring health. She now works with adults and children to restore health so that families can thrive rather than having to give up all of their dreams because of the physical, emotional, and financial devastation that so often comes with chronic health problems.
