Many people are frustrated with traditional healthcare in this country and are looking for better solutions to their healthcare needs.  For most people, there was a time in their lives when they did not suffer from the symptoms or disease they now experience. What has changed with their body? Its ability to maintain health has been compromised in some way. What if there was a way to “turn back the clock” on your body and have it function the way it did before? This practice of determining why the body is not able to maintain health and how to once again restore vitality is called Functional Medicine.

Functional medicine is a revolutionary concept in healthcare today that seeks to determine why a person is not healthy and how to restore health by working with the body and its natural biological processes. This is completely different than traditional healthcare which focuses on the disease itself and attempts to suppress disease through the use of medication. Unfortunately, medications are primarily man-made chemicals that are not naturally found in the human body and therefore cannot restore normal biological function. Functional medicine on the other hands seeks to use diet and lifestyle modification as well as specific nutrients that are required by the human body to function as it should.

Physicians practicing functional medicine assess the various organs and systems of the body using traditional as well as specialized testing procedures and attempt to isolate where normal body function has been compromised. One of the key working principles of this type of healthcare is that the body is comprised of multiple systems and organs that work together in order to keep the whole body healthy. Systems are individually evaluated but the relationship of one system to another is a very important factor that is considered as well. Ultimately, functional medicine has the goal of discovering where normal function has been lost or compromised and then support the body’s natural biological processes so that health can truly be restored.
