Functional Medicine
Looks for the root causes of symptom as it relates to complex interactions of human body. It seeks to answer “Why are you not well”. It focuses on developing a treatment that addresses the whole person rather than a symptom.
Functional Medicine centers on optimizing crucial elements of health: diet and nutrition, exercise, sleep, mental health and stress management.
