Integrative Functional Medicine

Picture

What is Integrative Functional Medicine?

Integrative Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and doctor in a therapeutic partnership. It is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a comprehensive wellness-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. 

Integrative Functional medicine doctors spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.
