What Is A Whole Body Approach Towards Health With Functional Medicine
Do you believe that a health issue stems from a single failure within the body’s systems?
Let’s say you have a digestion problem that causes gas, bloating and loose stool. You might think your digestive system is the root cause of your problem. This would be a reasonable assumption to make, but there is probably more going on than you realize. There are several root causes that could cause digestion symptoms… These are all conditions that AFFECT the digestive system but are not necessarily caused by a root problem of the digestive system. Your digestive system does not function in isolation. It must work in harmony with other systems. If we take the examples listed above, you will see that root causes can also be found in the following systems: It is worth noting that the top regulating or control systems of your body are the immune, endocrine and nervous system. These 3 systems are in constant communication with each other. They regulate each other and the other systems of the body. Functional medicine doctors understand the overlap of your body’s systems and the need to bring them back into smooth interaction again. In functional medicine we often talk about the gut (digestive system) as being the foundation of health. I believe this to be true, but problems with the digestive system are not isolated to the digestive system alone. If you remove food allergies and digestion improves, then the immune system was involved. If you balance your estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, insulin or thyroid hormones and your digestion improves then the endocrine system was involved. If you reduce stress, exercise and balance your serotonin or dopamine with dietary supplements and digestion improves, then your nervous system was involved. There are countless combinations of systems and health problems that can occur when they are not functioning properly. This is what functional medicine is all about…viewing your body as a whole. When systems such are the digestive system are viewed as solitary “islands” within your body, it can be very difficult or even impossible to restore health and wellbeing. Your body functions as a unified system, where the health of each component affects the overall balance. When one system falters, it can trigger a ripple effect, impacting other systems—a cascade of compromised function and health. This interconnectedness underscores the development of disease and poor health. Discover how functional medicine can address these underlying imbalances and support holistic wellness.

Harmony With The Whole Body Approach
Every system in your body is like a gear in a complex machine.
Problems with the digestive tract will ALWAYS involve one or more of the 3 major regulating systems.
In some cases, all 3 of the major regulating systems are involved and by improving one of these systems you would also be improving the other 2.
