Elyaman’s day job is Medical Director of Absolute Health in Ocala, Florida, where he, according to himself, has “integrated a functional medicine approach into insurance-based primary care”. Moreover, Elyaman is Medical Director at HumanN, a “leading nutraceutical company”, i.e. a supplement producer – Elyaman pushes a lot of supplements through his Doctor E’s Choice online supplement store – and the author of Your Healing Power, which is ostensibly “a guide to mastering one’s genes to reverse disease.” Needless to say, you can safely leave that one on the shelf.
Diagnosis: Yes, Elyaman is a real MD. But there are many real MDs, and it might be wise to choose one that hasn’t given in to the useless tests and useless supplements (and hefty invoices) that make up most of the quackery known as ‘functional medicine’.
