What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine addresses the root causes of illness and disease, treating the whole system, not just symptoms. Approaching healthcare through an individualized, patient centered and science based process, Functional Medicine practitioners look at the full picture of what could be contributing factors to imbalance. Patients and practitioners are empowered to work together to resolve the complex underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness through diet and lifestyle change.

The five pillars represent fundamental aspects of health and wellness that I invite you to explore as part of your journey to better health. We may often focus on one area, but looking at the bigger picture of your health through the Functional Medicine lens to see if all five areas are functioning optimally will create better balance and lead to overall enhanced well-being.
