Functional Medicine
Redefining what it means to be well
“Why is this happening?”
While conventional medicine often focuses on managing symptoms, the functional medicine approach begins with a deeper question:
“Why is this happening?”
It seeks to uncover and address the root causes of illness-restoring healthy function across the body’s interconnected mind-body systems that are represented in our Wellness Wheel.
The integrative framework of functional medicine is built on partnership, personalization, and a practitioner’s deep understanding of how your body’s systems work together. More than a structured method, functional medicine is a mindset that invites you to take an active role in your health and empowers your body’s innate ability to heal itself.
How Does Functional Medicine Compare to Traditional Approach?
Whole-person: We don’t see you as just a diagnosis or your symptoms, you’re a dynamic human being
Personalized care: Your care is tailored to your unique biology, lifestyle, environment, story, and wellness goals
Time and attention: Practitioners spend more time listening, asking, and understanding your full health history
Lifestyle as medicine: Nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and relationships are all part of the healing equation
Root-cause focus: Instead of masking symptoms, it works to uncover and address the underlying imbalances
