Functional medicine is a personalized approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. It treats the body as an integrated system, rather than a collection of independent organs divided up by medical specialties. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.

Functional medicine is like having a detailed map of your body’s health. Imagine your body as a complex, interconnected network, where every part affects the other. Unlike traditional medicine, which often treats symptoms in isolation, functional medicine looks at how everything is connected.
