What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine combines the structure of evidence-based systems medicine with the framework of approaching the whole individual with their particular genetics, epigenetics, environmental, emotional, cultural, and spiritual influences on health along with lifestyle factors that impact health to determine each person's root causes of illness and disease.
The focus is not on naming or quantifying disease and treating symptoms, but on discovering root causes and addressing those factors to allow for the body to heal itself in the most natural way possible. Removing factors that contribute to disease and adding factors that contribute to health is the bedrock of the personalized therapeutic treatment plans you will receive.
