Functional medicine focuses on addressing the root cause of disease and illness, rather than solely treating symptoms. It is a patient-centered approach that emphasizes the importance of understanding each individual's unique genetic makeup, as well as their lifestyle, environment, and social factors.

 

Functional Medicine Health Coaches take a comprehensive and holistic approach to patient care. They spend considerable time with patients, listening to their health histories, and gathering a complete understanding of the patient's health status.

 

Based on this detailed assessment, functional medicine practitioners develop personalized treatment plans that often include a combination of lifestyle modifications, nutrition and dietary interventions, exercise, and stress management techniques.

 

The goal of functional medicine is to promote optimal health and vitality by restoring balance and function to the body's systems. It encourages active patient participation, education, and empowerment, with the aim of preventing future health issues and promoting long-term well-being.
