Chris Kresser: Hey, everybody, it's Chris. Welcome to another episode of Revolution Health Radio.
This week I have a special guest, Dr. Amy Nett, who works with me at California Center for Functional Medicine and is also on the Kresser Institute faculty and helps me teach the ADAPT practitioner training program.
Amy how long have you been with us now at CCFM? I don't remember the exact month that you joined?
Dr. Amy Nett: Well, I think you and I started working together even before CCFM was officially in existence, so over three years now I think.
Chris: Wow, time flies. I mean it seems like you've been there forever. It's amazing how far we've come in that last three years. It tripled in size, I think, in three years, in terms of staff and growth.
Amy: Absolutely, and then watching that clinician training program, watching you develop that from the ground up and seeing that grow has been really exciting too, so you've been busy.
Chris: Definitely. We've all been busy. It’s been fun, a great ride. Before we dive into today's topic, which I'm really excited about, we're going to talk about PCOS, and you pointed out to me that I really haven't written that much about this topic or spoken about it, which surprised me because it's such a big concern for women, and it's something that in my mind I thought I had covered, but I hadn’t, so we're going to dive into that today. But before we do that, given that it's been three years now, and so now you have a lot more experience in Functional Medicine, you're helping me teach in the Kresser Institute, but you didn't come from a Functional Medicine background, you came from radiology and practicing within the conventional system, I'm sure some of the listeners, particularly practitioners, would be curious how that transition has been for you now looking back to where you were five years ago and where you are now and what that's been like for you both professionally and personally.
Addressing the root causes of PCOS.
Dr. Nett’s transition from conventional to Functional Medicine
Amy: Yes. As you said, I've trained in a very conventional medical setting at Georgetown University Medical School and then Stanford University for radiology, both residency and then also fellowship in diagnostic radiology. We talked about, last time I was on the podcast, I think, the first time I was on the podcast quite a few years ago, |
