    Integrative Cardiology

    Dr. Michael Twyman is an integrative cardiologist that specializes in stroke and heart attack prevention. One of his core missions as a functional medicine practitioner is to help patients find their risk levels—not only to halt the damage—but to reverse the disease process itself. It is an inspiring and courageous endeavor from a medical position. On this episode of The FM Shift, we are happy to share the stage with him to help him advance his cause.

    Prevention is the Key

    The big question that inspired Dr. Michael Twyman to become a functional medicine practitioner is— “if we have the patient’s weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and other factors controlled, why do they keep coming back?” It drew Dr. Twyman to the preventative side of his specialization. He began looking at advanced lipid profiles and inflammation, eventually leading him to connect with a group of like-minded individuals who sought ways to prevent/reverse these diseases completely. That group is the St. Louis Institute of Integrative Medicine.

    Into Uncharted Territory

    If you’re having a heart attack, you obviously want well-trained individuals taking care of you. But if you really want to get to the root cause, you have to dive much deeper. As a functional medicine practitioner who goes against the grain, Dr. Twyman certainly has unique obstacles to overcome in treatment. But he rarely faces scrutiny from his colleagues, and that is important to note. Functional medicine is still new, but it is finally in the mainstream. We have an opportunity to treat more and more patients with revolutionary practices like Dr. Twyman’s by looking at the big picture. However, in many instances, this leads us into uncharted territory.
