WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?

Functional medicine is a systems biology approach to incorporating biochemistry, physiology, toxicology and microbiology in order to restore homeostasis by seeking causes of dysfunction. It is a personalized medicine approach incorporating the person’s family history, work history, genetics (if available) and lifestyle to reach improved outcomes. Functional Medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Your journey to your best health is a combination of your genetics, lifestyle, diet, environment, travel, relationships and beliefs. Functional Medicine is truly the biopsychosocial model for health care delivery.

GENES + ENVIRONMENT = FUNCTION

"The Functional Medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes." -- Institute of Functional Medicine
