Where is there too much?

Where is there not enough?

Let’s find the balance.

The amazing benefit of Functional Medicine is that it works for a wide range of imbalances, conditions and diseases. It is safe and effective for anyone who wants to achieve better health with the added benefits of helping us live longer with a higher quality of life. 

While the Functional Medicine approach helps us become healthier, it also applies to individuals who are suffering from chronic conditions and taking multiple medications. When we give the body what it needs and remove what it doesn’t, then healing at all levels can happen. It’s that simple.

The clinical approach of Functional Medicine is to first search for the root cause of the disease or condition. The clinician is always asking:

 “Why did this symptom start?” 

“Why is it progressing?” 

“What does this person need more of?” 

“What do they need less of?” 

Causes of any disease could be nutrient imbalances, hormonal imbalances, poor gut health, excess environmental toxins, poor sleep, an overactivated stress response, poor diet and exercise, as well as inadequate stress management, to name a few. Two people may be diagnosed with the same disease, and the causes may be completely different. Therefore, each of their treatment plans would also be different. Searching for the person’s individual root cause, and creating an individualized holistic custom treatment plan, makes the Functional Medicine approach effective for a myriad of conditions.
