      Word from the Author

      ––––––––

      Throughout the 30 years I’ve been practicing medicine, patients continually ask me why I haven’t written a medical book and then tell me that I need to do so. Within that time, enormous numbers of patients have walked through the doors of my practice. Within the last 10 years, 10,000 of these patients have had symptomatic patterns that have repeated over and over again. These patterns also repeat themselves throughout a common set of diseases.

      I often work with people who are ignored by the medical community, and who don’t fit within the normal patterns of disease. Commonly prescribed drugs don’t work for them, and they often get sicker and sicker without knowing why. Rather than throw up my hands, I’ve chosen to view this situation as an invitation to investigate underlying causes. That’s what functional medicine is all about. Why are so many people getting sick? Why can’t they get better, even with prescribed drugs?

      Most importantly, what can we do to help them thrive?

      The best healing happens when doctor and patient work together. I have my job to do in asking the right questions and using my training, experience, and research to diagnose and treat the condition. Patients have their job, also. They need to follow instructions, listen to their bodies, learn how to communicate with me as they respond to treatments in their own unique way, and then adjust their lifestyle to become healthier, as well.

      This is not easy for a person who is struggling with pain, memory, fatigue, and often-debilitating symptoms. This is why I’m writing this guide. People need help, and a step-by-step approach to their condition to lessen the work that comes with healing, and a simpler way to communicate with their own physician.

      So, here it is. I hope this is a simple yet comprehensive, entertaining yet serious, but most of all, easy-to-use guide on how to treat the most common, chronic conditions from which people suffer in the western world.

      Once you start reading, you will notice that there is much duplication in the chapters. There is a reason for this. Our bodies are highly integrated, strategic systems where different bodily functions have their own jobs, yet they all work together as one through repeating patterns. In other words, each system, whether it’s the gut, the immune system, the endocrine system, etc. all affect each other. So in one way or another, all of these conditions are related. I think you will also find that repetition helps us integrate the lessons and lodges them in our long-term memory. The more we integrate the understanding of our bodies into our minds and daily habits, the healthier we will become.

      At one point, I had one of my new employees read this book as a form of orientation.

      Her comment was, Aren’t you worried that you are going to be giving away too much information?

      I just smiled. People just need to get better.

      What is Functional Medicine?

      As you have read earlier, I am a Functional Medicine specialist who seeks out the underlying cause of a problem; the root cause. You could also call this holistic, alternative, integrative, text book medicine, common sense medicine because they all partially describe the practice of Functional Medicine. Functional Medicine physicians think out of the box and treat patients in a different manner than your average physician. There is typically more testing involved and much more time spent with the patient investigating what is happening with them. A physician who practices Functional Medicine is a detective. We start with a set of clues, follow the patterns, and solve the crime of the disease that is plaguing the patient.

      Disclosure Statement & Product Discounts

      Throughout this book you will see references to diagnostic laboratories and companies. I have not received any monies from any of these entities.

      In addition, you will see references to a wide variety of products with links to my webstores for purchase consideration. Obviously, you do not have to buy these products from me. You can get them online from a variety of sources or from your local compounding pharmacy. But if you are happy with the information in this book and agree with the different treatment regimens, I would ask that you consider purchasing the different supplements from my webstores. As an added incentive, on my Metagenics website (ktopouzian.metagenics.com), I always offer a 30% discount on first time orders with free shipping (if over $49), 20% off all reoccurring orders and a 10% discount for occasional orders. On my askdrt.weebly.com website, I offer the following 15% off coupon code exclusively for people that have purchased this book. The coupon code is: holysmokes!

      Thank you for your consideration.

      Eighteen Causes of Depression

      ––––––––

      Depression can be a primary problem or it can be a result of other problems. For example, if you are wiped out all the time, cannot get a good night’s sleep, or if you are in constant pain, chances are you are going to be blue. So the question is, do you wake up in the morning depressed from the get-go? Does it build up as the day goes on? Is it episodic and occur during a full moon? Just in the winter months? Let’s go through some common causes of depression that in many cases are easy to resolve.

      1. A total cholesterol level less than 150 can cause depression... You have got to be kidding me? Last week I went to my doctor and my cholesterol was the lowest it’s ever been and he gave me a gold star on my forehead! And you’re trying to tell me that low cholesterol is bad?

      Yes I am. Just like cardiologists have their own set of studies on heart disease, psychiatrists have their own studies that show that a total cholesterol level less than 150 is associated with an increase in anxiety, depression, and violent suicide.

      Wow! The reasons are as follows: First of all your sex hormones are made from cholesterol. Cholesterol is the raw material needed to make testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEA, Pregnenolone, etc. So, low cholesterol equals low hormones. Low hormone levels are associated with depression. The rest is obvious. The second reason is that psychiatrists feel that the serotonin receptors throughout your body do not function well without adequate cholesterol. Therefore, if you are depressed and you have low cholesterol, you need to get your level up at least to 165.

      How to get your cholesterol up:

      Not with fast foods!

      Eat healthy foods with cholesterol: eggs, nuts, shrimp, sardines, butter (I recommend using goat butter if you can find it at your local health food store.

      If you are on a cholesterol lowering medication, ask your doctor if you can lower the dose and tell them why. Consider replacing with OmegaGenics EPA-DHA 2400 fish oil, one teaspoon per day, or OmegaGenics EPA-DHA 720, two capsules twice per day. If you are vegan you can use OmegaGenics EPA-DHA 300 Algae and take two caps twice per day. Besides taking one of the above fish oil products I would recommend adding Ultrameal Cardio 360 two scoops per day. These two products work very well to lower cholesterol naturally and you may be able to stay off your medication.

      These products can be purchased at a discount from: ktopouzian.metagenics.com
