Functional medicine is a personalized and integrative approach to healthcare that addresses the root causes of chronic disease rather than the prevailing conventional model of treating the symptoms.

Functional medicine helps the patient attain true primary prevention of disease (before the disease is present) rather than just early detection (the disease process has already started). This is achieved by incorporating an analysis of how all the components of the human body interact functionally with one another and the environment.

By focusing on a patient-centered approach, rather than the conventional disease-centered model, functional medicine addresses the whole person – not just their symptoms. Ultimately, functional medicine supports a uniquely personalized expression of health and vitality for each individual. This is an evolution in medical practice that better addresses 21st century healthcare needs.
