By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, Functional Medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.
In this way, Functional Medicine supports a unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.
Our society is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of people who suffer from complex chronic diseases
The system of medicine practiced by most specialists is oriented towards acute care
The diagnostic methods of Functional Medicine entails an examination of all body systems. Specialists examine each system in the context of your lifestyle and environment. The goal is to identify the underlying cause(s) of dysfunction or disease.
Functional Medicine views the various organs and systems of the body as part of a larger context, allowing doctors to identify the root causes of diseases. With timely and high-quality diagnosis, it is often possible to interrupt and sometimes reverse the progression of disease.
In contrast with Conventional Medicine, Functional Medicine treats the body as a whole. When specialists focus on isolated systems, they might miss the big picture. The problem with this approach is that our bodies are inherently complex, and there are millions of antagonistic and synergistic interactions what take place every day of our lives.
As a Family Medicine doctor with a background in Osteopathic Medicine and Functional Medicine, I assess my patients as a whole. Our bodies are inherently complex, with millions of antagonistic and synergistic interactions taking place every day.
I build a partnership-based relationship with my patients, where we collaborate to achieve their health goals. This approach fosters trust, open communication, and shared decision-making, ensuring personalized and effective care.
Functional Medicine is a field of medicine that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of ailments. This model is individualized, patient-centered, and science-based, empowering patients and practitioners to collaborate in addressing the underlying causes of disease and promoting optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors, leveraging this data to create personalized treatment plans that lead to improved outcomes.
