Show Description

Foundations and Functions is a weekly podcast hosted by Dr. C.J. Pabla and Dr. Jason Amich that challenges the current medical model by returning to the core of what medicine was meant to do—make people better. Drawing from their extensive experience in emergency medicine, critical care, and integrative health, Dr. Pabla and Dr. Amich dig into the foundational principles of human physiology and the root causes of chronic illness. Whether it's unraveling the mystery behind hypertension, uncovering hidden mold toxicity, or connecting seemingly unrelated symptoms to gut health, each episode offers insightful, real-world discussions grounded in science and practical clinical experience.

Designed for patients who feel unheard or stuck in a system of short visits and fragmented care, the podcast is a deep dive into personalized medicine that values time, thoroughness, and education. Dr. Pabla and Dr. Amich believe true healing happens when we make sense of the body's signals, ask the right questions, and have the freedom to connect the dots. Through compelling cases and thoughtful analysis, Foundations and Functions offers hope, understanding, and a roadmap for anyone looking to reclaim their health by addressing what truly matters at the root.

  Well, kind of like the foundation of a house, right? It starts from the ground up. The foundation is not strong, the house is not strong. So just like in science, foundational things like the structure of a protein, you change the structure, its function changes, right? So that's kind of what we wanted to get through in the podcast is, these are very important concepts, and we want to kind of weave this concept through all of our podcasts.

  Darrell Bock And it speaks a little bit to how we think and talk every day in terms of, you know, patient conditions, patient issues, is, you know, we understand that the foundation of homeostasis and the normal physiology people are supposed to have. And so getting back to, you know, fundamental foundational clinical science, clinical medicine, and understanding how what we do every day affects the function of our body.

  So when you have symptoms, it's letting you know that there's something off with maybe the function. And so we can tie that into the foundations. What are the root causes? What are the basic principles of physiology that we can apply to help people get better?
