Functional Medicine: Finding the Root Cause of Your Symptoms

The core purpose of true functional medicine is to identify the underlying causes of dysfunction, disease and pain and to restore health by addressing the root of the illness.

What is Functional Medicine?

Modern medicine has evolved to incorporate functional practices to better address the healthcare needs of the 21st century.

The functional medicine model of healthcare was developed after a core group of leaders recognized the importance of treating each patient as an individual. Functional medicine focuses on nutritional science, genomics, and epigenetics to identify each patient’s unique root causes, and uses personalized, low-risk interventions to treat or reverse disease.
