Functional Medicine is an integrative, science-based healthcare approach that treats illness and promotes wellness by focusing on the bio-chemically unique aspects of each patient, and then individually tailoring interventions to restore physiological, psychological, and structural balance.
 

Functional Medicine focuses on understanding the fundamental physiological processes, the environmental inputs, and the genetic predispositions that influence health and disease so that interventions are focused on treating the cause of the problem, not just masking the symptoms.

​

There are seven basic principles underlying functional medicine which include the following:
 

1. Science-based medicine that connects the emerging research base to clinical practice.
 

2. Biochemical individuality based on genetic and environmental uniqueness.
 

3. Patient-centered care rather than disease-focused treatment.
 

4. Dynamic balance of internal and external factors that affect total functioning.
 

5. Web-like interconnections among the body's physiological processes also affect every aspect of functionality.

 

6. Health as a positive vitality, not merely the absence of disease.
 

7. Promotion of organ reserve.

Integrated Medicine couples the latest scientific advances with the most profound insights of ancient healing systems, giving you the best ways to preserve health, increase longevity and speed recovery from illness.

Integrated Medicine is a revolutionary approach to healing people — not just treating diseases — using the unique tool called person-centered diagnosis.

Integrated Medicine recognizes that the outcome of all health care is strongly dependent upon four powerful influences in the lives of each person. These four pillars of healing are:
 

1. Relationship.

The social support network: family, friends, involvement in community, and a strong-patient alliance.

 

2. Diet and lifestyle.

Nutrition, habits, and the daily pattern of rest and exercise.

 

3. A healthy environment.
Protection from chemical and biological toxins.

 

4. Detoxification.

The body’s ability to self-purify and protect itself from internal toxicity.

Integrated Medicine allows you to find optimal health by understanding your individual needs for achieving balance and harmony.
