Functional Medicine

Most healthcare practitioners are not trained to investigate the complex interplay between various body systems, and as such their focus is too narrow. For instance, if your cholesterol’s too high, you’re given a drug to bring it down rather than looking into all the elements – diet, lifestyle, genetics, toxin exposure, etc. – that make it too high! Functional Medicine investigates these interplays. Many common conditions like chronic pain, bloating, stress-related hormone imbalance and sleep disorders can be addressed by looking at the body as an integrated system –  not just a group of unrelated organs.
