Functional medicine is a holistic approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness, rather than just managing symptoms. Unlike conventional medicine, which treats symptoms in isolation, functional medicine looks at how genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors impact overall health.

By considering the interconnectedness of bodily systems, functional medicine aims to uncover underlying imbalances that contribute to health issues. Practitioners take a personalized approach, addressing not just physical symptoms but also mental, emotional, and social well-being.

Treatment involves a thorough assessment of your health history, lifestyle, and environment, combined with advanced diagnostic testing and in-depth conversations. Once the root causes are identified, treatment focuses on supporting your body’s natural healing with lifestyle changes, nutrition, supplementation, and stress management techniques.

This patient-centered model recognizes that one condition may have many causes, and one cause can lead to many conditions—allowing for a more tailored, effective treatment plan.
