What is Functional Medicine?

“As a catalyst in the transformation of healthcare, Functional Medicine takes a comprehensive, whole-health approach to prevention, health, and well-being; treats root causes of disease; and restores healthy function through a personalized patient experience — all while being a vital partner to conventional medicine”. -The Institute of Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine (FM) is patient-centered, it emphasizes the importance of using lifestyle and dietary changes as medicine. It focuses on restoring your body’s natural healing power and treating the WHOLE person, rather than disease. 

FM recognizes that we are all unique, whether it’s our genetic pre-disposition, lifestyle differences, food preferences, stress and toxicity levels, or emotional well-being. This allows for a more holistic understanding of your health, helping you create sustainable results that you feel good about.

So much of conventional medicine focuses on suppressing our symptoms with drugs, but the long-lasting results lie in addressing the underlying root causes of our disease and focusing on the individual’s needs.

Functional Medicine aims to empower you to take control of your health and make informed decisions about your well-being, so you can reach your optimal level of health!
