What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is an alternative to traditional/conventional medicine. Many people have experienced symptoms or illnesses that require medication. Looking for the root cause of why, rather than just covering it with a medication, often leads to needed lifestyle changes. Diet, physical activity, stress management, sleep, the elimination of heavy metals, and endocrine disruptors (to name a few) can all play a role in our overall well-being and reduce symptoms, improving our health.

The science-based healthcare approach takes a holistic view of a patient's health. It involves analyzing the complex interactions between a patient's history, physiology, and lifestyle that contribute to illness. By considering each patient's unique genetic makeup and internal and external factors, Functional Medicine aims to optimize total functioning and promote overall wellness.

It emphasizes prevention through nutrition, diet, and exercise, and uses advanced laboratory testing and diagnostic techniques. Treatment plans may include prescribed medications, supplements, therapeutic diets, detoxification programs, or stress-management procedures to promote overall well-being.
