FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE BRIEF

ISSUE #1: January 30, 2026


Mitchell's Pick

​Saffron appears to be as effective as fluoxetine for reducing depressive symptoms, with fewer reported side effects. This is an area worth watching as more research emerges; especially with a few companies now developing products that use therapeutic dosing.


Kate's Pick

​"The Hidden Language of Perimenopause" reframes midlife change as a whole-body conversation, not just a hormonal event. Dr. Mary Grimberg decodes the signals our body sends during perimenopause with equal parts humor and science. Worth the 16-min watch!


👋 This is The FM Brief. Just one standout pick from each of us that caught our attention and felt worth sharing. More to come!

Enjoy your weekend,
