Functional Medicine is an approach and treatment that focuses on optimal functioning of the body and its organs, usually involving systems of holistic or alternative medicine, instead of covering up the symptoms or just altering lab results with medication. It deals with primary prevention and underlying causes of chronic disease rather than simply removing or masking symptoms once they arise.

​

With functional medicine, there is an emphasis on true healing, by treating the person rather than a disease. There is also a partnership of joint responsibility between a professional and clients, with the client carrying most of the load. It also embraces the most current science in diagnosing early abnormalities that eventually lead to chronic illness.

​

Functional medicine uses botanicals and other forms of nutritional supplementation rather than pharmaceutical agents that create high levels of stress damage. Under the influence of functional medicine, “old age” is not what it used to be, anti-aging is now a science, and optimized living is the “new normal” for people of every age.

Functional medicine is a complement to traditional medicine and not an alternative. Systems of health protection should work together where possible. One approach cannot serve all of “heaven and earth.”
