Patients are amazed at the things Dr. Prather picks up on during an initial examination.  But he says this is possible when you know how to interpret the language of your body's symptoms in a holistic way.  In this episode, we talk about:

—Why men (and doctors) are "the worst" when it comes to ignoring symptoms that need to be checked out.
—The levator scapulae test Dr. Prather uses to identify stress in a patient.  And how patients with severe Depression and Anxiety will often not have relief until the levator scapulae is released.
—How a Cardiac Ear Crease on the ear lobe is an indicator of cardiovascular disease.  And how a blemish on the ear can indicate a problem in a specific area of the body.
—The link between thickened toe nails and cardiovascular disease.  And how swelling in the ankles (edema) can indicate Kidney Disease or Heart Disease based on upon whether it's in both ankles or just one ankle.
—How the loss of hair on a man's legs is an indication of cardiovascular disease.  And how the loss of eyebrows, usually in women, can be an indication of gallbladder disease.
—What bags under the eyes and dark circles around the eyes indicate about Kidney Disease and Liver Disease.  And how Plantar Fasciitis can even be a sign of Kidney Disease.
—Why Dr. Prather says the Emergency Room should be called for a Gallbladder emergency surgery when a patient says their stool has a white color.  And what a healthy bowel movement should look like.
—What urine color, frequency, and the force of your urination reveal about the health of your Kidneys.
—How Dr. Prather has "never" had a Headache case where he wasn’t able to find the underlying cause.  And how the different types of Headache symptoms help point to the source of the problem.
—Why pain should never be ignored because there is always a reason for the pain.  And why Structure-Function Care should be the primary care for a patient.
