We introduce the concept of "Middle Medicine" as an alternative to traditional functional medicine approaches that often focus too narrowly on finding a single root cause or running excessive tests without results.
• Frustration with the term "functional medicine" as it's been co-opted by practitioners who run expensive tests and prescribe supplements without understanding systems biology
• The problem with obsessively seeking a "root cause" when sometimes fixing the system matters more than identifying the trigger
• Introduction of "Middle Medicine" as an approach that combines conventional diagnostics with natural interventions
• The importance of practitioner-patient connection in diagnosis and treatment
• Working collaboratively with specialists rather than creating an "us vs. them" mentality
• Focusing on solving problems rather than adhering to a specific medical philosophy
