Principles for Feeling Great Now and Learning How To Live To Be 100

In this webinar for the Broken Science Initiative Medical Society, Dr. Libby Wilson shares her journey from conventional family medicine to functional medicine, emphasizing a shift from treating symptoms to identifying root causes of illness.

Dr. Wilson outlines her four-phase approach to healing: addressing adrenal health, restoring gut balance, supporting mitochondrial function, and optimizing hormones. She stresses that the body is inherently designed to feel well, and when it doesn’t, there is always a reason—one that often lies in overlooked lifestyle and physiological factors. Her care philosophy centers on removing what harms the body and replacing what it needs, using data-driven protocols, natural therapies, and a strong emphasis on lifestyle—especially stress, sleep, and nutrition. Through compelling patient stories and lab results, she demonstrates that chronic symptoms and even autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s can be reversed with consistent, root-cause-based care.

After practicing as a board-certified family physician for 15 years, Dr. Wilson became disillusioned with the limitations of the insurance-based, symptom-focused model. Driven by personal and family health challenges, she pursued certification through the Institute for Functional Medicine and launched her own cash-based, virtual practice—Best Life Functional Medicine—which now serves clients across the U.S. and internationally.
