Functional Medicine is an approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease or dysfunction rather than just treating symptoms. It aims to restore the body's natural balance and optimize health by looking at the interconnectedness of various bodily systems, including physiological, genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
​
Key principles of Functional Medicine include:
​
-
Personalized care: Recognizing that each individual is unique, Functional Medicine practitioners tailor treatment plans based on the patient's specific genetic makeup, biochemistry, and lifestyle factors.
-
Systems-oriented approach: Understanding that the body is comprised of interconnected systems, Functional Medicine seeks to identify and address imbalances across multiple systems rather than focusing on isolated symptoms.
-
Addressing root causes: Instead of simply suppressing symptoms with medication, Functional Medicine aims to uncover and address the underlying factors contributing to illness, such as inflammation, stress, nutrient deficiencies, toxins, or microbial imbalances.
-
Integrative therapies: Functional Medicine incorporates a wide range of evidence-based therapies from both conventional and alternative medicine, including dietary and lifestyle interventions, nutritional supplements, stress management techniques, mind-body practices, and more.
-
Patient-centered care: Functional Medicine prioritizes building collaborative relationships between patients and practitioners, empowering patients to take an active role in their own health and well-being.
Overall, Functional Medicine offers a comprehensive and holistic approach to healthcare that emphasizes prevention, wellness, and personalized treatment strategies tailored to each individual's unique needs and circumstances.
