Functional medicine is a whole-body approach to health care that addresses the root cause of health problems, rather than masking or treating their symptoms.
This approach considers the unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence your health. Functional medicine aims to promote optimal wellness by addressing imbalances throughout your body and emphasizing the importance of natural treatments, such as diet and lifestyle modifications.
By taking a personalized approach, functional medicine can help prevent chronic diseases so you can maintain excellent health as you age.
Functional medicine takes a more holistic approach to care than traditional medicine. While standard care focuses on treating symptoms once they develop, functional medicine takes your whole body into account to uncover the root cause of your discomfort.
For example, if you have digestive issues, a traditional doctor may prescribe medication to ease your symptoms. Unfortunately, medication doesn’t always address the cause of your issues.
A functional provider, on the other hand, may order lab work to assess your nutrient levels and gut microbiome. They also examine your diet, sleep habits, and stress levels to closely examine your symptoms and design an appropriate care plan.
