Unconventional Life With Jules Schroeder

What if burnout, inflammation, and "doing everything right" but still feeling awful isn't a failure—just a missing map? In this episode of Unconventional Life, host Jules Schroeder sits down with functional medicine expert, genetic strategist, and stand-up comic Dr. Sam Shay. Together, they unpack why health optimization breaks down during major life transitions, how functional medicine bridges data and lived experience, and why inflammation, genetics, and nervous system load are often the real root issues. This episode is for anyone navigating midlife transitions, chronic symptoms, or energy crashes—and it matters because without a roadmap, even the best tools won't get you where you're trying to go.
