Functional Medicine is an approach to health and longevity that can 

 be used for health maintenance or to unravel chronic complexproblems that have evolved over time.

​

By shifting the traditional disease-problem focus to a science based, root-cause,

individualized approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person within the context of their current environment and key elements of their history. 

​

This  process of diagnosis and treatment planning can be especially helpful when using conventional approaches hasn't found a clear diagnosis and previous treatments haven't resolved an ongoing issue.

​

Functional medicine practitioners spend extra time  listening to your health history and making connections between possible genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence wellbeing.

 

A personalized treatment plan is designed based on your unique history and risk factors.  In this way, "functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual."
