Functional Medicine seeks to answer the question, “Why are you ill?” so you can receive personalized and #effective care for your needs.
Functional Medicine is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease based on interactions between the environment and the gastrointestinal, endocrine and immune systems to develop ‘individualized treatment plans’.
The focus of Functional Medicine is on -
- Patient-centered care promoting health beyond just the absence of disease.
- After understanding the medical history, the practitioner brings the patient into the discovery process and tailors their treatment addressing individual needs.
- Each process is unique and the diagnosis - course of treatment keeps changing as the patient progresses in health and wellbeing.
- It does not follow a blanket approach unlike other streams of medicine.
Functional Medicine addresses -
- Degenerative diseases
- Chronic diseases
- Illnesses related to the environment
