Health is not just the absence of disease, but a state of immense vitality
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine combines the best elements of conventional and alternative medicine. Focusing on whole-body treatment to facilitate optimal functioning of each of your body’s systems and organs, this process also uses cutting-edge lab testing to identify the root causes of your health problems.
Essentially, functional medicine works to support your body’s natural healing systems rather than attacking disease directly - incorporating conventional medical practices in addition to nutrition and lifestyle changes. So, instead of a drug-first approach, functional medicine practitioners first seek to understand why the problem presents itself in the first place and what they can do to repair and prevent it from returning.
