Is Energy Medicine Real… or Just Expensive Air?

Is energy medicine a powerful clinical tool… or just very expensive hand-waving? In this episode of Functional Medicine 2.0, Dr. Z tackles one of the most polarizing topics in integrative care — without blind belief or knee-jerk dismissal. Joined by Camille Fish, L.Ac., FDNP, MAcOM, CTNC — an acupuncturist and functional medicine–trained health coach — this is a grounded, honest conversation between clinicians who care more about patient outcomes than protecting a modality. No worship. No trashing. Just discernment. In this episode, we cover: Why some “woo” approaches actually helped patients, even when Dr. Z didn’t want them to Where energy medicine can add value, and where it crosses into irresponsibility Why “this is all you need” is a red flag in any system How practitioner bias (for or against) can block better outcomes Why results matter most — but judgment still matters more If you’ve ever wondered whether energy medicine belongs inside a serious clinical model, or where the line should be drawn, this episode is for you. If you’re quietly thinking, “Yep… this old model is breaking me,” you’re not alone. Functional Medicine 2.0 is where clinicians go when they’re done pretending the current system is fine. Private community. Real implementation. Zero performative BS. Let's go!
