Dr. Ban Health Podcast
This podcast covers a broad range of health topics from an integrative medicine perspective that combines conventional medicine and complementary therapies to promote health and wellness. Most physicians are specialized now, so health can be approached too narrowly, and many factors that contribute to poor health are ignored or overlooked. Rather than chasing symptoms with drugs, Dr. Ban gets to the root of health problems and offers suggestions for achieving optimal health through the least invasive approach possible.
In each episode, Dr. Ban discusses health comprehensively based on the interplay of his "5 Pillars of Health." Pillar #1 focuses on how health is affected by Nutrition and Physical Activity. Pillar #2 is about the connection of stress (and namely the stress hormone, cortisol) to a broad range of chronic health conditions and diseases. Pillar #3 addresses the importance of Gut Health and reducing Inflammation. Pillar #4 explains how you can slow aging and reduce the risk of disease through balancing sex Hormones and reducing Environmental Toxins. Finally, Pillar #5 covers how we can improve quality of life through improving our Brain Health.
Because of the limited time available for Dr. Ban to educate his patients about these topics in the medical setting, he launched this podcast to share important up-to-date health information in an ever-changing world. The information provided is NOT medical advice and should not be treated as such. Rather, it is intended for educational purposes only to spur more research and analysis on the listener's part. HIs ultimate goal is to empower listeners to take back control of their health.
