What is Functional Medicine?

  • "Root Cause" Medicine

    Functional medicine is a person-centered, science-based approach to healthcare that views the body as an interconnected system. Instead of focusing solely on treating isolated symptoms, functional medicine practitioners seek to understand the underlying factors that contribute to a person's health. This approach allows for a more comprehensive and personalized nutrition plan tailored to each individual's unique needs.

  • Functional Labs

    Functional lab testing is a collection of labs that provide a comprehensive understanding into your health. By analyzing blood, stool, urinary, salivary, and hair samples, biomarkers provide an in-depth perspective into analysis. Functional labs also use different reference ranges to distinguish between normal, optimal, and pathologic health states. This is why functional medicine tests use optimal reference ranges to report a patient's lab results.

  • Supplement Plans

    Not all supplements are created the same, and not all are good for everyone. It is important to have a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner help you understand what supplements are right for your unique body.
