Functional Medicine
Key Aspects:
1. Root Cause Analysis: Identifying and addressing the underlying causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms.
2. Personalized Care: Tailoring healthcare plans to the individual needs of each patient based on their unique genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
3. Holistic Approach: Considering the whole person, including physical, emotional, mental, and social aspects of health.
4. Integration of Therapies: Using a combination of conventional medical treatments and alternative therapies such as nutrition, exercise, and stress management.
5. Functional Medicine: Often associated with functional health, functional medicine practitioners use advanced testing and a deep understanding of the body’s interconnected systems to create individualized treatment plans.
Examples:
- Addressing chronic fatigue by evaluating hormone levels, nutrient deficiencies, and lifestyle factors.
- Managing autoimmune diseases by identifying and removing triggers such as food sensitivities or environmental toxins.
