"Functional medicine is not just about treating diseases; it’s about creating optimal health. It’s about asking the question 'Why are you sick?' and finding the root cause of the illness."

- Dr. Mark Hyman

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness, rather than just treating symptoms. Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on diagnosing and managing diseases, functional medicine looks at the whole person—their genetics, lifestyle, environment, and biochemistry—to uncover imbalances and create a personalized plan to restore health and vitality.

This approach is ideal for individuals struggling with chronic conditions like digestive issues, fatigue, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, or persistent pain. Functional medicine also helps those seeking to optimize their wellness and prevent future health problems by addressing underlying factors such as inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, stress, and toxins.

The goal of functional medicine is to help you achieve true, lasting health by empowering you with tools, knowledge, and treatments that support your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive. It’s about treating the cause, not just the symptoms, to help you feel your best.

Here’s a list of some signs that functional medicine might be right for you:
