Reverse Alzheimer's Summit 2.0 (2022)

<h6>Heather Sandison, N.D.</h6>
Welcome back to the Reverse Alzheimer&#8217;s Summit. I&#8217;m so excited and delighted to have Dr. Margaret Christensen, M.D. with us today. She&#8217;s a friend, a colleague, an Institute for Functional Medicine faculty member for 15 years. She first became interested in functional medicine 18 years ago, when trying to solve the riddle of her and her own family&#8217;s complex health challenges. Unbeknownst to her at the time, these were consequences of severe toxic mold exposure. She became intimately familiar with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, autoimmune, hormonal, neurological, and psychiatric consequences of unrecognized biotoxin illness. A board certified OB-GYN for 23 years, her initial boutique Functional Medicine practice has grown into The Carpathia Collaborative, a large multidisciplinary, Functional Medicine Practice based in Dallas and covering the full spectrum of complex chronic diseases. I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of sharing patients with Dr. Christensen and her team, and they do an absolutely magnificent job of supporting patients. Her practice provides 360 degree functional, lifestyle and nutritional medicine and includes an onsite teaching kitchen, yoga studio, and education library that I would never want to leave given the opportunity, that also serves as a site for community learning events. Dr. Christensen is passionate about educating our clients and colleagues about root cause, whole-system medicine. You can see why am delighted to have her here today. Welcome.
