Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is a patient-focused, systems-oriented approach to healthcare that seeks to identify and address the root causes of health issues rather than merely treating symptoms. It is a collaborative and integrative approach that combines the best of conventional and alternative medicine to provide comprehensive care that addresses the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
