The common method of treatment in the healthcare system is to look at what medicine the patient can take to help with their symptoms. However, in this watch and wait system, there are so many things that are skipped over that people could be doing that could get them to the point of not needing medication. Dr. Meg Mill is joining me today to discuss the importance of finding the root cause of health issues.
