FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Functional medicine utilizes a systems-based approach that can be used to asses health status, or to identify and treat chronic diseases. This approach better accounts for the connected-ness of our body organs, and for the way that the world around us affects the world inside us. It can be used to evaluate the interaction between our genes, our micro-biome (internal bacteria), nutrition, environment, and lifestyle, all of which affect if or how a person's body will develop a chronic condition. When the underlying cause of a condition is identified, imbalances can be corrected, wellness can be boosted, and symptoms can resolve.
