Dr. Kharrazian is one of those people who when you first hear him speak, you realize something refreshingly special is happening. What I mean is, he can take complex, evidence-based material from research and break it down to practical application with a clarity rarely experienced! I have had the honor of teaching Functional Medicine with Datis at Loma Linda University School of Medicine for the past 5 years where I have witnessed first hand Dr. Kharrazian stir intrigue and critical thinking in the minds of budding physicians. The legacy of root cause medicine is served best when practitioners like Dr. Kharrazian are willing to dig deep in the evidence and ask the hard questions as to why things are and why it matters. This movement needs the humble confidence that is evident in the service Datis gives to his colleagues, students, and community each day.
