The Root Causes of Chronic Illness: Functional Medicine with Dr. Aaron Hartman of Richmond Integrative Medicine
In this episode of Healthy Team, Healthy Business, we sit down with Dr. Aaron Hartman of Richmond Integrative & Functional Medicine to explore the REAL root causes behind chronic illnesses — from mold exposure and processed foods to stress, sleep, and environmental toxins.
Dr. Hartman shares why so many patients fall between medical specialties, collect “normal labs,” and still don’t feel well. His systems-based approach connects the dots between the gut, brain, heart, immune system, environment, toxins, diet, and lifestyle — revealing patterns traditional medicine misses.
We discuss powerful stories from his practice, including a business owner who suffered five strokes before discovering the trigger was mold in his home, and how Dr. Hartman helps people recover from chronic Lyme, autoimmune disease, long-COVID, chronic fatigue, and mystery illnesses.
You’ll also hear why:
- 80% of heart disease and 70% of cancers can be prevented with lifestyle
- Processed food and industrial fats are driving metabolic disease
- Stress and sleep are two of the biggest “health levers” for entrepreneurs
- Our healthcare system can’t reverse chronic disease using 15-minute visits
- A functional medicine intake takes hours — and why it needs to
- Wearables, HRV, circadian rhythm, and light exposure matter more than ever
- The future of chronic care will be education-driven, patient-led, and root-cause focused
Whether you’re a leader responsible for a team, someone navigating chronic symptoms, or simply trying to improve your long-term health, this conversation is packed with insight you won’t hear in traditional medical settings.
