Functional Medicine is the future of healthcare—NOW.
By addressing the root cause of dysfunction and restoring optimal health it is revolutionizing medicine.
Principles of Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is Holistic. It addresses all of the factors that influence wellness—from diet and lifestyle to genes and the environment.
Functional Medicine is Individualized and Patient Centered. Patients are listened to and treatments are tailor to their unique needs.
Functional Medicine is Science-Based. Functional Medicine is an adjunct to conventional medical training. It provides a deeper, more integrative approach to health and wellness.
Functional Medicine is Effective and Efficient. Functional Medicine practitioners have reversed diseases once thought incurable—like Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s. And because Functional Medicine addresses and resolves the root cause of disease rather than just alleviating the symptoms, it reduces healthcare costs as well.
Functional Medicine is Collaborative Care. You are an active participant in your care along with practitioners working to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms and develop a protocol to restore your body to optimal health. Because this can involve significant dietary and lifestyle changes, Functional Medicine Health Coaches are available to provide encouragement and support to meet your health goals.
“I spent most of my life struggling with often debilitating symptoms yet conventionally trained physicians had no answers. When I found Functional Medicine, I finally had answers and my health back.”
