WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL
MEDICINE

 

Functional Medicine is an approach to health care that focuses on identifying and addressing root causes of disease. 

We consider the whole person rather than just isolated sets of symptoms. Functional Medicine holds that disease is often caused by the interaction of lifestyle, environment, genetics, and other important factors. 

Thus we take into consideration a client’s health history, family medical history, and the factors of their environment and lifestyle. We tailor a personalized treatment focused on solving the root causes of complex chronic diseases. Functional Medicine offers individualized care based on evolving research in nutritional science, genomics, and epigenetics. 

The goal is to use low-risk and effective interventions to positively modify molecular and cellular systems, resulting in a permanent solution that reverses the pathway of disease.
