How Functional Medicine Works For You
Functional medicine is a comprehensive investigation of all body systems. Each system is examined within the context of your environment and life experiences. It geared to identify root cause(s) of any dysfunction or disease.
Functional medicine looks at the various organs and systems of the body as parts of a larger context, which allows FM doctors to identify underlying causes of diseases.
When you treat the root cause of a disease, it’s possible to interrupt the progression of the illness and at times reversal of such. My patients and I work together to find the source of their problems. Then, we can find a complete solution.
Functional medicine directly contrasts conventional medicine, which examines the body in separate entities. When specialists examine isolated systems, big picture concepts are missed. The problem with this approach is that our body is inherently very complex.
There are millions of synergistic and antagonistic relationships occurring round-the-clock.
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine addresses the root cause of any illness. Functional medicine also focuses on prevention, which can save you a lot of heartaches later in life.
Functional medicine is especially helpful for those with complex, chronic diseases. Chronic diseases involve many systems and functions throughout the body. A functional medicine approach is able to make connections between all symptoms, which initially can seem unrelated.
Another important aspect of functional medicine is it considers the environment around you. Conventional medicine doesn’t normally take the environment into account. The people, places, and things we surrounded by on the daily basis have a significant impact on our health.
