If you've been dealing with a chronic health issue, you've probably heard some version of, "You'll just have to manage it." So you try another doctor, another test, another medication, hoping this one will finally explain what's going on. But for a lot of people, that answer never comes.

What if the real problem is that we're asking the wrong question?

In this episode, Drew Griesel sits down with Dr. Karyn Shanks to talk about a different approach to Holistic Health. Instead of asking, "What's wrong with you?" she asks, "What happened to you?" They unpack how Root Cause Medicine and Whole Person Medicine look beyond symptoms to understand why the body changed in the first place, and why that changes everything.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why treating symptoms isn't always enough, and how Personalized Medicine looks for the root cause instead.
What Genetic Expression really means, and why your genes aren't as fixed as you might think.
How Trauma and Physical Health, Nervous System Regulation, and How Stress Affects the Body are more connected than most people realize.
Why Chronic Inflammation, Metabolic Health, and Lifestyle Medicine play such a big role in long-term health.
How Preventive Medicine and Root Cause Healing can help you build a healthier future before disease takes hold.

If you've ever wondered why your body isn't responding the way you hoped, this conversation will give you a different way to think about it. Karyn Shanks MD shares practical ideas you can start applying today, along with a reminder that lasting health doesn't come from trying to fix everything overnight. It starts with understanding your story, making one meaningful change at a time, and giving your body what it actually needs.
