What Is Functional Medicine? + -

Functional medicine is a holistic, patient-centered approach to healthcare. It aims to address the root cause of disease, rather than simply treating symptoms. This is achieved by understanding the unique genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors that influence each individual's health and disease patterns.

How Does Functional Medicine Differ From Traditional Medicine? + -

Traditional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms, while functional medicine seeks to understand and address the underlying causes of disease. Functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and evaluating the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex chronic diseases.

What Conditions Can Be Treated With Functional Medicine? + -

Functional medicine is particularly effective for chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and hormonal imbalances. It can also be used to manage digestive disorders, skin conditions, and mental health issues such as depression and anxiety.

What Can I Expect At A Functional Medicine Consultation? + -

In a functional medicine consultation, your practitioner will take a detailed health history, including information about your lifestyle such as diet, exercise, traumas, and exposure to toxins. They may also order laboratory testing to gain a deeper understanding of your unique health status. This comprehensive approach allows them to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Is Functional Medicine Evidence-Based? + -

Yes, functional medicine is based on evidence. It pulls from the latest research findings in areas such as genomics, epigenetics and the biochemistry of the body's response to nutrition, exercise, and stress. The aim is always to improve patient outcomes with treatments that have solid, scientific backing.
