The essence of functional medicine is acknowledging symptoms such as fatigue or bloating as the harbinger to something more and finding its cause. It is nurturing each cell at the biochemical level in order to support the body’s innate ability to heal itself. It is helping each person to embrace true health and live their best life.
Our current health care system has failed us when it comes to the prevention of what ails this country the most, chronic illness. It fails to prevent heart disease, cancer, strokes, hypertension, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
A Functional Medicine approach is true preventative medicine. The point is to look at the complaint as being a small part of a much bigger problem. The emphasis is to look for the underlying cause and to nourish the most fundamental aspects of your health. These aspects include, but are not limited to, your quality of sleep, nutrition, stress management, hormonal balance, relationships, genetics and exercise. When any of these are out of balance, in time, a dire impact on your health may occur. Patients often ask, what is the cause of their problem. In most cases, the answer is, there is not just one cause. Usually, there are multiple factors that compound until the “disease” occurs. Not surprisingly, when all these contributions to illness are addressed, symptoms resolve and there is a significant improvement of your life.
