Functional Medicine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nFunctional Medicine is a science based form of health care that seeks to uncover and treat the root cause of illness and disease. Practitioners of functional medicine do not compartmentalize the various body systems (cardiovascular, endocrine, digestive, neurological, etc) and address them individually, but instead take a step back and see how all these body systems affect one another. Modern medicine today is ruled by the notion that a symptom present in one system, is likely caused by a problem within that same system, when that is rarely the case. <\/p>\n
For example, an increasing amount of research is showing that an imbalance in your gut bacteria can lead to weight gain, depression, acne, muscle and joint pain, anxiety, hormone imbalances, etc. In the traditional medical model, you may get referrals to an endocrinologist, nutritionist, a psychiatrist, a dermatologist, and a rheumatologist. In the functional medicine model, we recognize the patterns and connections between these systems and rather than treat symptoms as individual problems, we address the dysfunctional patterns. (sometimes we will symptom treat concurrently to provide patients with more immediate relief while we work on the larger underlying problem) <\/p>\n
The primary ways a functional medicine practitioner addresses a dysfunctional pattern is through dietary changes, behavioral modifications, and nutraceuticals (supplements & herbs). For more severe cases, pharmaceuticals may be added to a treatment plan by a qualified healthcare professional, but they are never the only component of a treatment plan. <\/p>\n
Here is a list of common reasons to seek functional medicine :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Hypothyroidism<\/li>\n
- Diabetes\/Pre-diabetes\/Blood sugar imbalances<\/li>\n
- GI complaints (diarrhea, bloating, constipation, IBS, SIBO, acid reflux, etc)<\/li>\n
- Weight management<\/li>\n
- Unexplained fatigue<\/li>\n
- Aches and pains throughout whole body & fibromyalgia<\/li>\n
- Migraines<\/li>\n
- Acne<\/li>\n
- Allergies<\/li>\n
- Insomnia<\/li>\n
- Poor brain endurance\/inability to focus<\/li>\n
- Decreased libido<\/li>\n
- Menstrual\/Fertility issues<\/li>\n
- Menopause<\/li>\n
- Andropause<\/li>\n
