What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is an evolution in medicine that addresses 21st-century healthcare issues by focusing on the root causes of poor health. Practitioners spend time with patients, listening to their histories and evaluating genetic, environmental, and lifestyle influences that impact long-term health and chronic disease. By discussing health history, symptoms, and goals, and using laboratory tests, they create personalized health plans. Our Integrative Functional Medicine Clinic combines the best of conventional diagnostics and holistic approaches to identify and heal the root causes of health issues, rather than just masking symptoms with drugs. This method offers an effective style of healing.
