Welcome to the world of Functional Medicine and Supplements, where prevention is not just a concept but a practice. At Functional Med 411, led by Dr. Scott Watkins, our mission is to shift the focus from disease management to disease prevention, a journey that I have embraced personally and professionally.
The Evolution from Cancer Specialist to Functional Medicine Advocate
Dr. Scott Watkins’ Medical Journey: With over 25 years as a cancer specialist, my extensive medical background began at West Virginia University’s Medical School, followed by a residency in Radiation Oncology at Albert Einstein Center and Temple University Hospital. My experience in oncology and personal health challenges led me to explore Functional Medicine.
A Personal Health Transformation: My own health journey in my 50s, marked by lifestyle-induced changes, directed me towards Functional Medicine. The shift from being a healthcare provider to a patient seeking health optimization opened my eyes to the potential of preventive care through lifestyle changes and supplements.
The Core of Functional Medicine at Functional Med 411
Upstream Prevention: Functional Medicine focuses on upstream prevention, targeting conditions long before they manifest as diseases. This approach is vital in managing chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and even cancer, where early intervention can make a significant difference.
Gut Health and Overall Wellness: A cornerstone of Functional Medicine is the emphasis on gut health. Our approach revolves around understanding and nurturing gut health as a pathway to overall wellness, acknowledging the intricate relationship between what we consume and our health.
Customized Care and Supplements: At Functional Med 411, we understand that each individual is unique. Our customized care plans, inclusive of tailored supplement regimens, are designed to meet your specific health needs and goals.
