Why Functional Medicine Works

  • Functional medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual.
  • Functional Medicine offers a powerful new operating system and clinical model for assessment, treatment, and prevention of chronic disease to replace the outdated and ineffective acute-care models that just wait for you to get sick.
  • It is Individualized, patient-centered, science-based.
  • Instead of suppressing symptoms, Functional Medicine asks WHY have the symptoms occurred in the first place?
  • Functional Medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex chronic disease. In this way, Functional Medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.
