Functional Medicine

“when a plant doesn’t grow you fix the environment it’s subjected to, not the plant” -yashmayi bhoi

Functional Medicine is root cause treatment. It is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease to promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.

By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of disease. They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, Functional Medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.
