Lisa Vasile, NP and Dr. Patricia Zub co-owners of 4 Better Health, will present a free talk on functional medicine from 2 to 4 p.m., November 4, at the Tatnuck Bookstore, in Westborough. Vasile will be joined by Dr. Patti Zub to discuss how functional medicine works in collaboration with traditional medicine to reduce and reverse chronic conditions and symptoms by identifying root causes and redirecting imbalances.

“We have seen hundreds of patients feel better by optimizing nutrients, lifestyle, sleep, energy and appropriate metabolic and hormonal functioning,” says Vasile. “Traditional medicine often leans on medication for disease and symptoms, leaving patients with the belief that their symptom or condition is lifelong. Functional medicine believes the body can and will heal.”

Vasile and Zub will also discuss why pain, hormonal issues, excess weight, fatigue, brain fog and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are often outward signs of inward imbalances. The pair will offer helpful hints on reducing and reversing fatigue, IBS and brain fog, along with beneficial suggestions for diet, supplementation and lifestyle.
