Join us on the first episode of The Progressive Medical Edge where Dr. Agolli and Dr. Burdette discuss what is Integrative Medicine?

Welcome to The Progressive Medical Edge! This podcast, hosted by Dr. Gez Agolli, the founder of Progressive Medical Center, is here to help educate and empower you to take control of your health. We are going to help you get to the root cause of chronic disease.

We have created a new series called the Integrative Medical Update! This series will focus on ways that you can become a healthier you through discussing specific conditions, treatments, and even things you can do without going to a doctor’s office!

When a person takes a drug, it’s critical that he or she first consider the potential for interactions with other substances in the body. Drugs can react to other medications, health supplements, and even food or alcohol.
