What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine uses protocols taken from the best techniques of conventional and natural medicine to support the body’s innate ability to heal itself. It is also referred to as root-cause medicine. Food and the body’s relationship with it though the gut and microbiome are examined and treated as an important driver of health and illness. Functional Medicine considers and corrects areas of potential biochemical and physiological imbalance to achieve a greater sense of wellness.
What is Integrative Medicine?
An integrative medical practice values the relationship between practitioner and patient, focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, health care professionals and disciplines in order to achieve optimal health and healing. Integrative Medicine uses approaches that shift the focus from illness to wellness and from disease treatment to functional enhancement. Personalized assessments using in-depth clinical visits and laboratory evaluation are used as appropriate to create individualized wellness support plans.
