Functional Medicine 411 is dedicated to helping individuals take charge of their own health by providing comprehensive functional medicine disease-prevention care.
Understanding Functional Medicine
Functional medicine is an holistic approach to healthcare. It focuses on identifying the causes of illness and treating them, as opposed to just treating symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners strive to optimize the body’s healing mechanisms by examining the complex interactions of genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors.
Functional medicine is based on the following principles:
- Care tailored to the individual needs and circumstances
- Treating the root causes of disease rather than treating symptoms
- Stressing the importance of lifestyle, nutrition and environmental factors for health and disease prevention
- Using advanced diagnostic tools and treatment to support the body’s own natural healing processes
- To achieve optimal health, it is important to foster a partnership between the patient and the practitioner.
Power of Disease Prevention
Functional medicine is focused on preventing chronic diseases. Functional medicine practitioners can prevent or delay conditions like:
- Cardiovascular disease
- Type 2 diabetes
- Autoimmune disorders
- Digestive issues
- Hormonal imbalances
- Cognitive decline
Functional medicine practitioners develop personalized prevention strategies based on a thorough assessment of a patient’s health history and lifestyle habits. They may also consider biochemical markers.
- Nutritional advice and targeted supplements
- Stress management techniques
- Exercise and physical activity guidelines
- Sleep optimization techniques
- Environmental toxin reduction
- Support for your gut health
