Functional Medicine

Functional medicine is a holistic approach to addressing underlying causes of dysfunction and illness in the body. It focuses on what, how, and why certain conditions manifest in the body and aims to be proactive in mitigating those issues by treating the body as an interconnected, synergistic system. It is constructed on the notion that the human body is a complex system and that these systems are intertwined, talking, and communicating back and forth with each other to balance the body. 

Conventional medicine is typically specialty-oriented and is focused on addressing the issue within that particular specialty. For example: endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, and nephrologists. Additionally, conventional medicine does very little to address how and why your symptoms occurred in the first place. Functional medicine looks at the bigger picture. It is focused on what, how, and why this disease manifested and what actions can be taken to ameliorate those issues. Functional medicine is a patient focused, health-oriented, holistic approach to healing and treatment.
