About Functional Integrative Medicine

Functional medicine is an individualized and tailored approach that addresses the underlying causes of disease using a systems-oriented approach to engage both patient and practitioner through a therapeutic partnership. It uses lifestyle interventions and dietary supplementation to address the causes of a person's symptoms. Functional Medicine shift away from the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach that address the root causes rather than merely treating symptoms.
