The Functional Medicine Model

The Functional Medicine Model is an approach to healthcare that focuses on understanding the root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. It considers the complex interactions between genetics, environment, lifestyle, and nutrition to support the body's natural ability to heal. By examining these interconnected factors, practitioners develop personalized plans to improve overall well-being, prevent disease, and address chronic conditions more effectively. This approach emphasizes collaboration between patient and practitioner to promote optimal health through customized interventions.
