  • Disappointing

    I have come to respect the field of functional medicine. I was looking for a podcast to listen on a regular basis. I found this one lacked real structure. Dr Stephanie seems knowledgeable but seemed unprepared and just rambled. She drifted aimlessly from topic to topic. I suspect she is better suited to a shorter format like Tik Tok or IG rather than the longer format of a podcast that needs a planned agenda to function effectively.
