Publisher's Summary

The world is facing the greatest healthcare crisis it has ever seen. Chronic disease is shortening our lifespan, destroying our quality of life, bankrupting governments, and threatening the health of future generations. Sadly, conventional medicine, with its focus on managing symptoms, has failed to address this challenge. The result is burned-out physicians, a sicker population, and a broken healthcare system.

In Unconventional Medicine, Chris Kresser presents a plan to reverse this dangerous trend. He shows how the combination of functional medicine, an ancestral diet and lifestyle, and a collaborative practice model can create a system that better serves the needs of both patients and practitioners.

The epidemic of chronic disease can be stopped if patients and practitioners can adapt.

Not as practical as I would have liked

The book does a great job detailing the problems with conventional medicine and the benefits of functional medicine, but I was hoping for more practical applications in every day life rather than countless case studies and a call out to become a functional medicine practitioner.

Important Book

Excellent arguments for breaking the paradigm of modern conventional medicine. A compelling (and somewhat terrifying) audiobook.

Great content, felt like it was missing something.

Wanted more at home things I could to apply this lifestyle. I felt like the book had one too many "patient examples", although they where very cool to hear.
