Unlike conventional medical practitioners, who prescribe medications to control symptoms, Functional Medicine practitioners partner with their patients to find the cause of illness and fix it. This approach involves the whole body and the whole person. Your functional medicine practitioner uses advanced lab testing, evidence-based medicine, education, and a partnership approach to help you achieve a state of optimal health and function.
Functional Medicine practitioners focus on each individual patient. Functional Medicine is personalized medicine. Practitioners listen to personal and family history, with a focus on environmental exposure, genetics, and lifestyle factors. Listening and evaluating these factors helps practitioners to respond to an individual patients needs. It also encourages practitioners and patients to work together. This therapeutic partnership encourages an ever-evolving plan of treatment with the goal of optimal health.
