Functional Medicine Explained
Root Cause Resolution.
The basis of functional medicine is a science-based systems biology approach that is not only patient-centered but individualized to each patient. The patient and provider work together to address the root cause(s) and work towards optimal health. Each patient's road map to recovery can and will look a little different as one condition can have several different causes and one cause can lead to several different conditions depending on the genetically unique individual.

Actively Participate.
Functional medicine is by no means a "quick fix." However, if you put in the time and dedication and actively participate in your personalized treatment plan you will set yourself up for great success. There is no guarantee of a 100% fix, but a functional medicine approach has an extremely high success rate with results that often resolve symptoms and chronic health conditions.
The body is very intelligent and if we give it what it is lacking or remove things that are affecting its ability to function optimally it creates the perfect environment for the body to heal.
