What is functional medicine?

The Functional Medicine approach is based on finding the root of the problem rather than simply treating symptoms. In order to do that, we must learn about your environment, social history, genetics, nutrition, sleep and habits. Because all of these facets are connected and your body systems act as a whole, we often find solutions for symptoms that may seem unrelated to you, simply by identifying what is, often, a shared root cause. Functional medicine also provides a framework for evaluating and mitigating health risks and can identify ways to prevent health crises while supporting you in the process.

Functional Medicine requires a change of expectations, from our healthcare professionals and ourselves. We offer a community of advocates who can lead you through the process of learning new vocabulary, new routines and a new posture towards wellness. This takes time, patience and a commitment to the process and yourself.

We can’t wait to get to you know you. Your uniqueness is at the core of Functional Medicine.  Understanding your story is the key to uncovering your solutions.
