Functional medicine is a patient-centered, science-based approach to healthcare that addresses the root causes of chronic illness by looking at the whole person, rather than just the symptoms.
Traditional medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating disease after it has already developed, whereas functional medicine focuses on preventing and reversing chronic illness by addressing the underlying factors that contribute to it.
During a functional medicine appointment, you can expect to have a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Your healthcare provider may order lab tests and other diagnostic assessments to better understand your unique needs and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Functional medicine can be used to treat a variety of chronic health conditions, including autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, chronic pain, and mental health conditions.
Functional medicine treatments may include dietary and lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, botanical medicines, mind-body techniques, and other natural therapies.
Some insurance plans may cover functional medicine appointments and treatments, while others may not. It is best to check with your insurance provider to determine coverage.
The length of time it takes to see results with functional medicine will vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated. Some people may experience relief after just a few weeks of treatment, while others may require several months to see significant improvement.
Functional medicine is suitable for most people, but it may not be appropriate for individuals with certain medical conditions or who are taking certain medications. It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if functional medicine is right for you.
