Functional Medicine is an approach to healthcare and nutrition that focuses on treating the root causes of illness, rather than just managing symptoms. It considers the connection of all systems of the body and how they affect health. Practitioners of functional medicine use a holistic, patient-centered approach, looking at factors such as lifestyle, genetics, and environment. The goal is to address the underlying imbalances and promote overall well-being rather than just alleviating specific symptoms temporarily.
Functional Medicine practitioners focus on optimal lab values, which are more specific than the standard lab values used in traditional medicine. Anything outside of those optimal values can show patterns and markers that spot trends toward disease. By catching these markers early on, functional medicine practitioners have a chance at reversing or stopping disease progression altogether.
