The Functional Medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that encourages patients and physicians to work together to address the underlying causes of illness and achieve optimal health and healing. Functional Medicine addresses the root causes of illness for individuals and provides solutions. Nutrients and nutrition are at the core of Functional Medicine, which addresses chronic health issues.
It requires a detailed understanding of each person’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and uses these findings to plan personalized treatments and achieve the best outcomes. This approach focuses on identifying the complexity of disease by addressing its root cause rather than its symptoms and complaints. It demonstrates that just as a condition can have many different causes, a single cause can also lead to many different illnesses. Consequently, Functional Medicine treatments target the specific manifestations of disease in each individual while ensuring the continued health of the systems and the entire body.
Nutrition, lifestyle, emotional and genetic structure underlying chronic health problems are evaluated together and the individual is supported in all aspects to regain their health and, most importantly, learn to maintain this health.
REVEALS HEALTH PROBLEMS
Food and nutrition are the core themes of Functional Medicine and are central to maintaining a healthy life. Functional Medicine goes beyond the disease-centered approach of mainstream medicine and operates with a person-centered approach to address the health needs of the 21st century. The whole person is at the core of Functional Medicine, and using the detailed information gathered, physicians assess the impact of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors on a person’s health and how they can trigger complex and chronic diseases. At the end of this analysis, a plan/lifestyle program is developed that will ensure the long-term health of the individual.
NUTRITION
We know that poor eating habits contribute to nearly every lifelong problem. By changing our biology, and therefore our psychology, and our diet, we can transform our well-being into something we desire, or lead to problems we don’t want. The studies and results on this topic are surprising and promising, not only for healthy living but also for the treatment of many serious illnesses.
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE CONSIDER THE PERSON AS A WHOLE
Functional medicine approaches individuals systematically and holistically. It approaches individuals’ problems by examining six main systems: the hormone, immune, energy, detox, gastrointestinal, and cardiometabolic systems. By considering the whole, it utilizes a person’s mental and spiritual makeup, as well as their lifestyle, both to address root causes and to plan treatments.
