On this episode of The Functional Edge, I sit down with David Wikenheiser, a naturopathic and regenerative medicine expert, to explore a whole-body approach to healing that blends traditional naturopathic wisdom with cutting-edge regenerative therapies.
David shares his philosophy of whether a person is “broken or just out of gas” and walks us through his three-step approach to health: feed, clean, and balance the energy. From nutrition and hydration to advanced interventions like PRP injections, nerve hydrodissection, and ozone therapy, you’ll learn how regenerative medicine can restore function, reduce chronic pain, and support immune health.
We also dive into patient care strategies, including setting realistic expectations, addressing discouragement, and giving patients momentum in their healing journey. David shares insights into the future of integrative medicine, including the promise of peptide therapy for tissue regeneration.
