What is Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine is the scientific practice that seeks to identify and address the root causes of diseases. It is patient centered and treats the body as a whole and not only the symptoms. Functional Medicine uses saliva, urine or serum (blood) specialized lab tests to discover where, how and why a health condition occurs and seeks a personalized treatment plan in order to restore health. Taking the time to understand what has triggered the condition(s), eliminate those elements, and allow healing to begin from within is the primary focus of Functional Medicine.
