Welcome to New Frontiers in Functional Medicine™.…
Dr. Elisa Song is one of those clinicians that I could just keep talking to! She's a respected colleague and pioneer in pediatric functional medicine with so many practical tips for navigating childhood illness and health. Need to get your kiddo/patient through a blood draw they don't want to do? Or get your picky eater to take their supplement? Dr. Song has the answers. I appreciate her candor as she talks about how and why her practice has evolved in certain areas (such as in the use of targeted probiotics and even "psychobiotics" for autism, ADHD, anxiety, OCD and more) and in spelling out which supplement brands and doses she uses and why. Dr. Song tackles the immense challenges impacting the health of our kids and teens head on with positivity and smart, doable strategies for lasting success. This is a fascinating and empowering discussion with many clinical pearls that I will be implementing both in practice and for my own daughter going forwards. I hope you enjoy it too! ~DrKF

Even as we prioritize natural interventions in functional medicine, GLP-1 agonist drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic offer sometimes life-changing support for those who have long struggled with resistant overweight/obesity and high blood sugar. However, there are side effects, including the risk of substantial muscle loss and sagging, aged skin ("Ozempic face" as it's indelicately known). It's a concern that hits home for me, considering the pivotal role we know that muscle plays in overall health and longevity.
In this New Frontiers podcast episode I welcome back Dr. Anurag Singh to unravel the complexities of these issues. We explore the interplay between metabolic health and muscle preservation, touching on everything from the mechanisms of GLP-1 agonists and their long-term effects on aging and sarcopenia, to the promising potential of dietary and lifestyle interventions to counteract negative effects. We consider the potential for one of my all-time fave postbiotic epinutrients - Urolithin A - to assist by supporting mitochondrial health and preserving/enhancing muscle quality. This timely conversation is one you won't want to miss. Tune in and please leave us a review wherever you listen to New Frontiers. – DrKF
