Discover your personalized solutions.
Functional Medicine has evolved out of necessity. Through it, we can work to restore and optimize health by addressing the root causes of chronic disease for each individual. Functional Medicine looks closely at all components of the body’s systems and how they interact among genes, the environment, and lifestyle, so we can diagnose, prevent and reverse chronic disease.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a system based healthcare approach to address an individual’s health and wellness concerns, using diet, environment and lifestyle factors. It has evolved out of necessity in an effort to solve the increasing epidemic of chronic disease we face today. The tools used in Functional Medicine, and the empowering and insightful advice can put you on a path towards freedom, truth, health, healing, happiness & longevity, once and for all through noninvasive natural methods.
What is the difference between Functional Medicine and Conventional Medicine?
Unfortunately, Conventional Medicine is a disease management system, not a healthcare system. Despite spending more on health care per person than ever before in history, we are the sickest we have ever been. This reductionist approach to our health and wellness has cultured the epidemic of chronic disease we are facing today. Unlike a conventional medical doctor, who will diagnose and treat using bio-synthetic chemical drugs that merely suppress symptoms, Functional Medicine specializes in clinically investigating the underlying root cause of disease using a systems biology based approach. We then customize an individualized treatment program using all aspects of diet, environment and lifestyle. Functional Medicine is the best model we have for addressing our chronic illness and strives to treat the underlying cause of the disease. We work on staying well rather than masking the symptoms that keep us sick.
