Functional Medicine

What is Functional Medicine?

The goals General Healthcare or primary care services include promoting health, preventing illness, treating acute and chronic conditions.

02

How does functional medicine intersect with other services? +

Your mental health challenges are fundamentally tied to the health of your whole body - from nutrition and physical fitness to metabolism and other conditions.

03

How does functional medicine differ from conventional approaches? +

Conventional approaches tend to focus on treating symptoms rather than addressing root causes. This results in some relief from those symptoms but it can be ineffective at creating long-term change in your life. Through functional medicine’s whole-health, root cause-centric approach, medication is administered more intelligently, non-medication strategies are deployed more effectively, and real change occurs.
