Functional MEDICINE
An Integrative Medical Practice
Successfully treating chronic illness requires expertise in all areas of medicine.
At Your Private Physician, we combine the soundest, most sophisticated conventional medicine with suitable, evidence based functional techniques, so we can provide exceptional, comprehensive medical care.
Traditional Medicine
Focuses on symptom-driven diagnosis and care, offering treatments such as:
- Pharmaceutical drugs
- Procedures
- Surgery
Functional Medicine
Looks for the root causes of symptom as it relates to complex interactions of human body. It seeks to answer “Why you are not well”. It focuses on developing a treatment that addresses the underlying cause of a problem rather than a symptom.
Functional Medicine centers on optimizing crucial elements of health: diet and nutrition, exercise, sleep, mental health and stress management.
