WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?

Conventional medicine as we know it today, divides the human body into different departments, such as neurology (the nervous system), psychology (depression, anxiety), endocrinology (hormones), gastroenterologists (Irritable bowel syndrome, reflux, bloating etc... But the human body doesn’t work as separate departments.

Our body functions as one complex unit where all the different bodily systems work in sync and affect each other. Using the functional medicine approach, we look at the person as one, whole, individual unit.

Conditions such as fatigue, anxiety, migraines, bloating, PMS, PCOS, infertility, constipation, arthritis, hair loss, auto – immune conditions and so on, steam from imbalances of several systems rather than just one organ.

The process that every client undergoes is aimed at searching and addressing the root cause of their condition, symptoms or disease with an individualized dietary / lifestyle protocol together with advanced laboratory testing (blood, urine, stool, saliva etc.) to help us investigate further if needed.

Many times, what works for one person, does not necessarily work for another and the functional medicine protocol is unique and personalized for each client.

In functional medicine our clinical advice and protocols are based on scientific evidence.
