Episode 24: Dr. Tom O’Bryan

Dr. Tom O’Bryan is an internationally recognized and highly respected speaker focusing on food sensitivities, environmental toxins, and the development of autoimmune diseases. His audiences discover that through a clear understanding of how you got to where you are and the events and experiences along the way are key to personal wellness. 

He addresses the importance of recognizing and addressing the underlying mechanisms that trigger inflammation, pain and autoimmune disease. Dr. O’Bryan holds teaching Faculty positions with the Institute for Functional Medicine and the National University of Health Sciences. He has trained and certified tens of thousands of practitioners around the world in advanced understanding of the impact of wheat sensitivity and the development of individual autoimmune diseases. 

Interviewed by Bioenergetics Bear Host Heather Gray, Dr. O’Bryan observes that while a majority of diseases of the last few hundred years have been reduced or eliminated through progress in medical research,  a wide range of other health hurdles have exploded. They include autoimmune disease, metabolic disease, blood sugar issues, food sensitivities, fatigue, brain fog and more. Add to this a long list of advanced lifestyle diseases including obesity, Diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s. Dr. O’Bryan teaches that addressing lifestyle diseases calls for thinking beyond medication. Rather than simply covering up the symptom, he argues for tracing the true source by way of a deep dive into the personal past to discover what has prompted the present.
