Vibrant Potential With Dr Chris Frykman: Functional Medicine Strategies For Health, Fitness, And Performance

Vibrant Potential is more than a podcast though.   It’s a conversation.  It’s a state of optimal living.  In the words of the US army, “Be all that you can be.”  Whether you’re in the armed forces or not, words to live by.  I’ve made it my job to improve the lives of others, specifically in the area of health.  If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything but when you’re healthy you can live life to it’s fullest, meet your goals, feel joy and life flowing in you and all around you.  To do this, I found out long ago I need some good tools.  Some of those tools are functional medicine, functional neurology, applied kinesiology and many others depending on the situation.   Functional Medicine has gained a lot of popularity in the past few years.  Because of this more people have heard about it and are seeking it out.  If you’re a casual, outside observer, you may think a func med approach means going gluten free and taking some expensive supplements.  Those of you more intimately familiar with function

This interview is near and dear to my heart.  Dr Bob Rakowski is a friend and a mentor to me.  I learned much of the foundations for applied kinesiology and nutritional protocols I still use in practice today from Dr Bob when I was a first year chiropractic student.  This was the first interview I recorded when I started working on the vision of Vibrant Potential.  The down side is that the audio quality is a bit lower than my normal productions because (honesty moment) I didn't know what I was doing when I recorded it!  The content is SO good that it makes the slightly inferior audio worth it.   For show notes please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com/DrBob                                    For more great health information please visit www.DrChrisFrykman.com               Like us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/VibrantPotential                    Get the latest updates on twitter at www.twitter.com/DrChrisFrykman See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
