Introduction
Functional Medicine is a personalized, system-oriented model that empowers patients and practitioners to achieve the highest expression of health by working in collaboration to address the underlying causes of disease.
Functional Medicine incorporates the latest in evidence-based science, system biology, and understanding of how environmental and lifestyle factors influence the emergence and progression of disease.
By adopting a more patient-centered approach, the whole person is assessed, not just an isolated set of symptoms.
Functional Medicine is complementary treatment involving nutritional supplements, lifestyle changes & safe non-invasive therapies. This is not in any way substitute for medical treatment by specialist doctor.
