What is Functional Medicine and can it help me?

That’s a good question. And yes, it can help you.

​

Functional Medicine aims to find the root of your symptoms and help you become healthy by fixing the underlying dysfunctions, instead of masking the symptoms with medication.

​

Think of it this way. If the “Check Oil” light comes on on your car dashboard, you could just cover it up with a piece of tape so you don’t see that alarming red light anymore. But would that fix the problem?

​

Nope.

​

There’s still something wrong with the engine that caused the light to come on in the first place. So, the smart thing to do is let your mechanic fix things up, before your engine blows up, right?

​

THE PROBLEM WITH MOST CONVENTIONAL APPROACHES... 

​

Of course, there are many excellent conventional doctors, and when you need surgery or have broken my arm, you bet that's the first place to call. 

​

But for mysterious health conditions that don't go away, you shouldn't settle. 

​

The conventional approach to chronic health problems doesn't address the root cause of why your systems aren't functioning properly in the first place. 

​

​

THE FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE APPROACH IS DIFFERENT. 

When it comes to addressing chronic health conditions, the Functional Medicine approach asks, “What’s the underlying cause, and how do we repair the entire system so that everything functions as it should?”

​

The Functional Medicine approach gets you on the road to feeling better— faster.*
