Functional Medicine meeting summary 8-27-2015

We had a nice discussion last night on the alkaline ash theory of osteoporosis and we all agreed that the research does not support recommending an alkaline diet for promoting  bone health.  We were treated to some sushi by Metagenics.  After I was informed that September 22 was the start of a Jewish holiday, we decided to change the date of the next Functional Medicine discussion group to Tuesday September 29.  I will send another email with the topic and some articles to look at prior to the next discussion. I hope that you can join us.
