Functional Medicine: With Functional Family Care

Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of health issues. By considering the complex interactions between genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors, functional medicine aims to restore and optimize your overall health and well-being.

Key Principles of Functional Medicine

1. Patient-Centered Care
   • Functional medicine emphasizes a personalized approach, considering each individual’s unique genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
   • The focus is on building a strong patient-practitioner relationship and actively involving patients in their own care.
2. Holistic Approach
   • This approach looks at the body as an interconnected system rather than isolated organs or symptoms.
   • It considers the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of health to achieve optimal well-being.
3. Root Cause Identification
   • Functional medicine aims to identify and address the underlying causes of health issues, rather than merely treating symptoms.
   • This involves comprehensive assessments and advanced diagnostic testing to uncover the root cause.
4. Systems-Oriented Approach
   • Functional medicine views the body as a network of interconnected systems that work together to maintain health.
   • It focuses on understanding and optimizing these systems to restore balance and improve overall health.
5. Integrative and Evidence-Based
   • Functional medicine combines the best of conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies.
   • It utilizes scientific research and clinical expertise to develop personalized treatment plans.
