What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a science-based field of healthcare that involves a very detailed health history, consultation, thorough examination, and advanced diagnostic testing. Personalized diet, exercise, supplementation, and lifestyle recommendations are utilized to address underlying causes instead of symptoms for chronic disease and conditions.
Functional Medicine is grounded
in the following principles:
- Biochemical individuality
- Patient-centered care
- Dynamic balance of internal and external factors
- Web-like interconnections of physiological factors
- Health as a positive vitality
- Promotion of organ reserve
Some of the challenging
conditions that respond well to functional medicine include:
- Coronary Artery Disease
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome and other gastro-intestinal conditions
- Inflammatory conditions (Crohn’s, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, Ankylosing Spondylitis)
- Asthma and Chronic Sinusitis
- Female Hormonal Issues (Pre-menstrual syndrome and Menopause)
- Infertility
- Weight Loss
- Stress Related Diseases and Conditions of Fatigue and Lack of Energy
