Functional Medicine
A natural approach to healing
What is Functional Medicine?
It is a personalized medical treatment approach to providing care that focuses on the breakdown of each system affected while getting to the root cause of the bodily dysfunction.
This approach is uniquely tailored to each person. It takes into account:
past medical history, environment, hereditary factors, sleep, mental health, daily stressors, food, medications, habits, physical activity, work life balance and so much more!
