ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.
At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

I'm a Preventive Medicine doc. Yet many viewers assume I'm a Functional Medicine doc. Why is there confusion between these areas? Much of it depends on the definition of "functional".
If "funcational" means our body's daily function is often the solution to the disease problem, then both Preventive Medicine AND Functional Medicine do this, and know it.
If "functional" means that sometimes the research is not all there. A good doc, then has to give the patient both sides of the debate about a treatment, and a recommendation, and support the patient in making the best choice.
To me, there is more "heat than light" around some of these academic and professional arguments. Some of that professional debate is OK. However, if we let it distract us, we're "fiddling while Rome burns". Unfortunately, I think we're often doing just that. Meanwhile, there is too much neglect of patients becoming senile and suffering other diseases.
