About Dr. Blum
Functional Medicine Expert & Founder of Blum Center for Health
Susan Blum, MD MPH
"Being a doctor isn’t my job, it’s my calling."
Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to medicine by a desire to help others and a love of problem-solving. Today, I channel that same curiosity into my work as a medical detective, to help people live fully and feel their best.
For nearly two decades, I’ve dedicated my career to helping patients treat, heal, and prevent chronic disease. I do this through my medical practice as well as my work as an author and educator.
My Approach
More than ever, people are suffering from “health anxiety.” Fear is something I encounter daily. It’s one of the biggest obstacles keeping people from living the life they want.
The truth is that medicine has become algorithm based and many doctors have lost their curiosity. Our health system is solely designed to identify the disease. You get sick, you get a diagnosis, and then a pill. But these ‘band-aid’ fixes don’t lead to long-term wellness. We work to find and treat the real imbalances behind the diagnosis.
I approach my work using a groundbreaking whole body perspective known as Functional Medicine. This means that I get to the root causes of why people get sick, beyond the symptoms, and identify the steps to help them get healthy. So many are stuck managing pain instead of healing, simply because they haven’t been shown another way.
