Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is grounded in the latest research from fields such as genomics, systems biology, and biotechnology. It leverages this research to understand how environmental and lifestyle factors interact with genetic predispositions to influence disease processes.
How It Works
How Functional Medicine Works
Functional Medicine practitioners take a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and use that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes. Here’s how the process typically works:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: The journey starts with a thorough evaluation of the patient's medical history, lifestyle, and environmental influences. This often includes detailed questionnaires, interviews, and sometimes genetic testing.
- Identifying Root Causes: Through advanced diagnostic testing, practitioners look for the root causes of illness which often lie in imbalances in key biological systems – the digestive system, the immune system, detoxification systems, and the endocrine system among others.
- Personalized Care Plans: Based on the findings, a personalized care plan is developed. This may include nutrition plans, exercise, supplements, stress management techniques, and traditional medications when necessary.
- Partnership and Empowerment: Functional Medicine is a partnership between the patient and the practitioner. Patients are empowered to take an active role in their health journey, making lifestyle changes that are sustainable for long-term health and well-being.
