Welcome to the first official episode of the Progress Your Health Podcast (PYHP). Previously, we published another podcast called The Dr. Rob Show, which is still on iTunes.
The co-hosts of the PYHP is a husband and wife team of Dr. Robert Maki and Dr. Valorie Davidson, who are both Naturopathic Physicians and graduates of Bastyr University.
Both Dr. Maki and Dr. Davidson specialize in Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) and Functional Medicine.
For Decades, medicine has been very compartmentalized and reductionistic. If you have a heart issue, then you are sent to a Cardiologist, and if you have a bone problem you are sent to an Orthopedist. If you have a hormone related condition, you might be referred to an Endocrinologist.
There are no specialists that really take the whole person into consideration. Dr. Maki and Dr. Davidson take a holistic approach and look at the entire person and all of the body systems at the same time.
Medicine tends to be very black and white. Either you have a disease or you don’t. Many times nothing is done for a patient until someone has an actual diagnosis. This creates somewhat of a gap within the healthcare system. Dr. Maki and Dr. Davidson are trying to bridge this gap between dysfunction and disease. They are often able to help someone even when there is not clear diagnosis
Baby Boomers are leading this charge for a new kind of medicine. People are living longer with a higher quality of life. They want to maintain a highly functional and active lifestyle and at the same time prevent or stave of many of the chronic diseases that affect millions of people across the country and around the world. Simply taking another prescription is not the answer. An entire new approach too health and medicine is desperately needed.
