Underweight, Overtired, And Malnourished: How To Get Your Health
Back On Track | This episode is sponsored by Tushy and Cozy Earth
The sad reality is that Americans suffer from massive nutritional
deficiencies and our food is primarily to blame. These nutrient
deficiencies are showing up in underweight and overweight people
alike. Aside from a reduction in nutrient density in our food, we
don’t eat enough whole, unprocessed foods and instead have diets
rich in refined sugars and starches. And even when we are eating
the right foods, our bodies sometimes have trouble digesting and
absorbing the necessary nutrients from those foods. Simply put, low
nutritional status equals a poorly functioning metabolism. In this
episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Boham to discuss
the issue of malnutrition and what that means for our overall
health. They dive into how they diagnose and treat the most
prevalent nutrient and vitamin deficiencies and Dr. Boham shares
cases of patients she has treated who have difficulty putting on
and maintaining weight. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and
nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness
Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has
helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health
and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her
practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize
nutrition in healing. Dr. Boham has contributed to many articles
and wrote the latest chapter on Obesity for the Rankel Textbook of
Family Medicine. She is part of the faculty of the Institute for
Functional Medicine and has been featured on the Dr. Oz show and in
