Functional Medicine

Functional medicine is a patient-centered, science-based approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease rather than just managing symptoms. It integrates modern medical science with holistic principles, considering factors such as genetics, diet, lifestyle, environment, and the interconnectedness of bodily systems. Practitioners take a comprehensive view of a patient’s health history and current condition, using advanced testing to create personalized treatment plans aimed at both resolving health issues and preventing future illnesses. This approach emphasizes long-term well-being by addressing modifiable factors like nutrition, stress, and environmental triggers while fostering a collaborative relationship between patients and practitioners to empower individuals in their health journey.
