What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is root cause medicine that augments primary or specialty care. It is the idea that every ailment and chronic disease stems from an underlying condition or disordered function of the body. Our job as functional medicine providers is to uncover and address that root cause, which frequently involves thinking outside the box, sometimes utilizing more unusual tests than you would generally have done by your primary care provider.
Functional medicine is based more in promoting health than fighting disease. It is PROactive medicine, as opposed to REactive medicine, and approaches disease as a side effect of imbalance in the body. The approaches used are evidence-based, well researched, and clinically verified. When applied in conjunction with primary and/or specialty care, there are lower long-term costs to care and reduced disease burden.
Additionally, functional medicine takes a more whole-person, rather than a symptoms-based, approach to care. We break down the walls and the silos that are built up between specialties and systems, which includes addressing physical, mental, spiritual, sexual, environmental, and social health & wellness. We are more than the sum of our parts! You are treated as a whole person and the fearfully and wonderfully made creation that you are.
