Beyond Symptom Management: Functional Medicine, Faith, & True Healing

Today, I sit down with Dr. Mark Sherwood, a naturopathic doctor, former SWAT officer, and co-founder of the Functional Medical Institute in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dr. Sherwood, alongside his wife Dr. Michele Neil-Sherwood, has dedicated his life to helping people move beyond symptom management and into true healing. In this episode, he explains why our culture’s “pill for the ill” approach is failing us and how functional medicine offers a more personalized path to health.
We discuss his career shift from law enforcement to holistic health, the shocking statistics he discovered about police officer longevity, and the wellness programs he built to help first responders live longer, healthier lives. Dr. Sherwood also breaks down the principles of functional medicine—treating the whole body instead of isolated symptoms—and why individualized care is key to reversing conditions like diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and even mental health struggles such as PTSD.
Dr. Sherwood highlights his books and resources, including Quest for Wellness, Fork Your Diet, and his upcoming Unlocked series, which dives into peptides, hormones, and longevity. He explains why diets don’t work, the dangers of inflammation, and why consistency in sleep, stress management, nutrition, and movement are essential.
