What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a patient-centered approach that focuses on treating illness and encouraging wellness by addressing the underlying causes of health issues. Unlike traditional methods that primarily treat symptoms, Functional Medicine providers, including doctors and nurse practitioners, take a holistic view of the patient’s health. This approach considers genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors to create a comprehensive treatment plan. By combining conventional medicine with complementary therapies such as nutrition, lifestyle changes, and supplements, Functional Medicine aims to improve overall health and prevent future health issues.
