What is
Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine
is an evidence-based care system developed to identify and resolve the root cause of your symptoms or diagnosed condition(s). Rather than using a prescription as a band-aid solution, we ask "why is x happening" and create a unique plan specifically for you to reverse or improve symptoms/conditions. The basis of Functional Medicine is establishing a therapeutic relationship with the client, as the client's story is the most vital piece of the puzzle to determine the root(s).
When approaching nutritional care from a Functional Medicine lens, we are approaching the body as an interconnected whole system rather than parts of a sum. We may find one root for many different symptomatic manifestations, or many roots for one condition. During our time together, we will discuss topics such as nutrition, movement, sleep, stress management, etc.
