What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a biology based approach to finding the root causes of illness and using various treatment methods to bring balance, restoration and healing to the patient.
For example, the root cause of a person’s depression may be inflammation, and also an underlying genetic predisposition to malabsorption of certain nutrients that create the proper balance of neurotransmitters.
By utilizing traditional lab results, which are analyzed from a more ‘functional medicine‘ perspective, underlying nutrient deficiencies can be identified and corrected with proper supplementation, food therapy and lifestyle modifications. “
