He is the founder of Premier Integrative Health, a Kansas City-based practice focused on helping patients achieve optimal health and vitality by getting to the root cause of their health concerns. Dr. Dyer believes the body has an amazing ability to heal itself, and that treatments should focus on creating health rather than treating disease. In this episode of The FM Shift, he joins us to share his journey in functional medicine and talk about his holistic approach to treatment.</p> <h2>Break Out of Conformity</h2> <p>Even before Dr. Dyer became a functional medicine practitioner, he always had an interest in fitness and nutrition. His transition from traditional internal medicine to functional medicine was largely driven by his passion for understanding what the human body is capable of when it performs in the right environment. Conventional medicine tends to beat doctors into submission and conformity, so Dr. Dyer saw integrative and functional medicine as a means to break the mold and make a difference
