What is Functional Medicine?

It views the body as a whole system, understanding that health issues arise from imbalances in various body systems, which can be influenced by genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors.

Functional Medicine practitioners use advanced diagnostic tools and tests to gain insight into your body’s function, then tailor a personalized treatment plan that may include diet changes, lifestyle modifications, supplements, and alternative therapies. The goal is to restore balance within the body, empower healing, and prevent future health issues.
