Dr. Aaron Hartman—triple board certified in family, integrative, and functional medicine—walks us through his path from military rounds and high-volume private practice to a more deliberate, patient-first model.
We unpack how evidence-based medicine lost two of its three legs, why publication bias distorts what we read, and how overlooked data from neuromodulation, nutrition, and environmental health can outpace costly procedures. From a $300 stim device that relaxed spasticity and avoided a $400k surgery, to low-dose naltrexone for neuroinflammation, to butyrate’s modern biochemical validation of an ancient insight, we connect research to real-world wins.
You’ll hear how he rebuilt clinic life around longer visits, smaller panels, and a foundation of sleep, nutrition, movement, relationships, and micronutrient, and then layered in precision labs, peptides, hyperbaric oxygen, and targeted devices when needed. W
e talk candidly about mitochondrial toxicity from common drugs, the gut microbiome’s role in medication metabolism, and the hidden costs of “that’s just how it is."
