What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine delves into the root causes of illness, employing a systems-oriented, scientifically-backed approach that fosters a collaborative partnership between patient and practitioner. Departing from the conventional disease-focused model, Functional Medicine addresses the entirety of an individual.
This progressive approach to healthcare is tailored to meet the demands of the 21st century. Functional Medicine Practitioners invest time in understanding their patients' histories, recognizing the intricate interplay of genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors that impact long-term health and the development of chronic conditions.
Armed with this comprehensive understanding, Functional Medicine Practitioners conduct thorough evaluations, including in-depth blood analyses, alongside assessments such as food sensitivity tests, saliva tests, and stool analyses. This wealth of data informs the creation of personalized health plans uniquely suited to each patient's needs.
At the core of this philosophy is the belief that no two patients are alike, and every individual deserves the level of care one would provide for their own family.
