A Balanced Approach to Optimal Wellbeing

About Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine is an approach to healthcare that focuses on understanding the underlying causes of disease and emphasizes individualized, patient-centered care. It views the body as an interconnected system, where imbalances in one area can impact overall health. Learn more about functional medicine below.

Holistic Perspective

Functional medicine considers the whole person, taking into account genetic, environmental, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors that influence health. It aims to address the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms.

Personalized Approach

Functional medicine recognizes that each individual is unique, and treatment plans are tailored to the specific needs of the patient. It involves comprehensive assessments, including detailed medical history, laboratory testing, and analysis of lifestyle and environmental factors.

Systems Biology

Functional medicine views the body as an integrated network of systems that work together to maintain health. It emphasizes understanding the relationships between various bodily functions and how imbalances in one area can affect others.

Lifestyle and Preventative Care

Functional medicine considers the whole person, taking into account genetic, environmental, lifestyle, and psychosocial factors that influence health. It aims to address the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms.

Integrative and Collaborative Care

Functional medicine practitioners often work collaboratively with other healthcare providers, integrating approaches from both conventional and alternative medicine. They aim to combine the best of various therapeutic modalities to support patient well-being.

Patient-Educator Relationship

Functional medicine practitioners strive to build a partnership with patients, emphasizing education and empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health. They encourage patients to take an active role in their own healing process.

“The key to lasting health is figuring out the cause of the problem and then providing the right conditions for the body and soul to thrive. It usually isn’t another medication.”

Functional medicine is an evolving field that seeks to bridge the gap between conventional medicine and a more holistic, patient-centered approach. It places an emphasis on understanding the unique factors contributing to an individual's health issues and developing personalized treatment plans to promote well-being and vitality.
