Frequently Asked Questions
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a personalized, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness or imbalance in the body. It considers the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors to optimize health and prevent disease.
How is Functional Medicine Different from Conventional Medicine?
Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms with medications or surgeries, functional medicine seeks to understand and address the underlying factors contributing to health issues. It emphasizes a holistic approach, aiming to promote wellness rather than just managing disease.
What Conditions Can Functional Medicine Treat?
Functional medicine can address a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions, including digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, metabolic issues, chronic fatigue, and more. It's particularly effective for conditions with complex underlying causes.
What happens on the discovery call?
It's very simple. A licensed practitioner will ask you some questions, take a quick health history, and determine if you’re a case they can accept. If they think they can help, they‘ll give you the package options available and work to find a personalized health plan to fit your unique needs.
What Can I Expect During a Functional Medicine Consultation?
During a functional medicine consultation, you can expect a comprehensive assessment of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences. Your practitioner will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan focused on addressing the root causes of your health concerns.
What Treatment Modalities Does Functional Medicine Use?
Functional medicine incorporates a variety of treatment modalities, including nutritional therapy, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, targeted supplementation, detoxification protocols, and mind-body therapies. The approach is highly individualized based on each patient's unique needs.
How Long Does it Take to See Results with Functional Medicine?
The timeline for seeing results with functional medicine varies depending on the complexity of your health issues, your adherence to the treatment plan, and other factors. While some patients experience improvements in symptoms relatively quickly, achieving long-term wellness often requires ongoing commitment and patience.
Is Functional Medicine safe?
ABSOLUTELY! Functional medicine is a safe and natural way of dealing with the root cause of health challenges, focusing on lifestyle changes, stress management, natural remedies, and supplementation tailored to your personal situation. There are very few conventional practitioners who will do objective functional testing and work towards finding the ROOT CAUSE of the health challenge. Most providers simply provide medicine/chemical coverage.
