Functional medicine examines how well the body systems are working and if there are any dysfunctions. Instead of using conventional medicine treatments, it uses natural solutions to correct these imbalances. While conventional medicine typically treats these conditions, functional medicine takes a different approach by targeting the root causes and restoring optimal functioning.
Frequently, patients with symptoms such as depression, gastrointestinal problems, nausea, weight gain, and others are told their lab results are normal. They're handed prescriptions to alleviate these symptoms. However, it's possible that these symptoms may stem from underlying dysfunctions that have not been addressed.
By taking the functional medicine approach, you will restore health and not just treat the symptoms of disease. This causes reversal of symptoms and improved longevity and vitality.
