What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine offers a powerful new operating system and clinical model for assessment, treatment, and prevention of chronic disease to replace the outdated and ineffective acute-care models carried forward from the 20th century.

Functional Medicine incorporates the latest in genetic science, biological systems, and the understanding of how environmental and lifestyle factors influence the emergence and progression of disease.

Functional Medicine enables physicians and other health professionals the ability to practice proactive, predictive, personalized medicine and empowers patients to take an active role in their own health.

What Makes Us Different

While natural medicine can be profoundly powerful, just because it’s natural doesn’t mean that it’s actually addressing the root cause of illness. So often, patients come to us on a multitude of supplements, on strict diets and exercise regimens, etc…yet they are still struggling fiercely with their health. There is a better way, but we must dive deeper.

Integrative Wellness Fx will actually help unravel the cascade of conditions that have caused illness at the root, design an individualized treatment plan accordingly, and empower you through diet/lifestyle education to maintain your health going forward with ease and cost-efficiency.

With so many factors now weighing down on our health, we must be more aggressive and address it from multiple angles. We utilize the true plethora of therapies and technologies available – ranging from ancient natural medicines to emerging energy modalities, peptide therapy, and liposomal nanoparticle delivery systems.

Why Do We Need Functional Medicine?

Our society is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of people who suffer from complex, chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and mental illness, and autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, and Crohn’s disease, to name a few.

The system of medicine practiced by most physicians is oriented toward acute care (the diagnosis and treatment of trauma or illness that is of short duration) and urgent care (such as appendicitis or a broken leg).

Unfortunately, the acute-care approach to medicine lacks the proper methodology and tools for preventing and treating complex, chronic disease.

There’s a huge gap between research and the way doctors practice. The gap between emerging research in basic sciences and integration into medical practice is enormous —the known gap in the industry is as long as 50 years, particularly in the area of complex, chronic illness. Most physicians are not adequately trained to assess the underlying causes of complex, chronic disease and to apply strategies such as nutrition, diet, and exercise to both treat and prevent these illnesses in their patients.

Consultation Experience

Our comprehensive Functional Medicine workup offers a 90-minute initial consultation to review all relevant paperwork, labs, and medical history to assess the myriad of factors contributing to each individual’s unique expression of disease.

Moreover, by the end of their first appointment, each patient will have an initial treatment plan to address their current symptoms and even begin some root- level work if they are ready.

The workup also offers a personalized food plan and lifestyle suggestions with an option to work with a Health Coach to implement them.

Our comprehensive lab panels will go beyond typical blood work and actually elucidate the root causes of disease and inflammation itself.

"Functional Medicine involves understanding the origins of illness (the root cause as to why the individual is presenting disease and/or symptoms), its prevention, and the treatment of complex, chronic disease by incorporating the best of contemporary medicine and the history of effective practices that have supported healing through millennia."

How Is Working with a Functional Medicine Practitioner Different?

Functional Medicine practitioners (FMPs) promote wellness by focusing on the fundamental underlying factors that influence every patient’s experience of health and disease. FMPs assess which systems are out of balance and dive deep into what the contributing factors are for that particular patient.

Once the FMP understands the contributing factors to the underlying issue, they design a treatment plan utilizing a systematic, therapeutic order for optimal healing that is unique to the patient’s health story. FMPs consider a range of contributing factors in the overall health story of an individual:

Environmental Factors

Functional Medicine practitioners look at environmental factors like the quality of air and water you consume, your exposure to ingested and environmental toxins, what types of food you eat, and the quality of that nutrition.

Psychological & Sociological Factors

Psychological, spiritual, and social factors can all have a profound influence on your health. Considering these areas helps the Functional Medicine practitioner see your health in the context of you as a whole person, not just your physical symptoms.

Genetic Makeup

Although individual genes may make you more susceptible to some diseases, your DNA is not an unchanging blueprint for your life. Emerging research shows that your genes may be influenced by everything in your environment, as well as your experiences, attitudes, and beliefs. That means it is possible to change the way genes are activated and expressed.

"All of your body’s processes are influenced by environmental factors and your genetic makeup; when they are disturbed or imbalanced, they lead to symptoms, which can lead to disease if effective interventions are not applied."

Functional Medicine Is a Comprehensive Approach to Health and Well-Being

Most imbalances in functionality can be addressed, some can be completely restored to optimum function, and others can be substantially improved:

Prevention is paramount. Virtually every complex, chronic disease is preceded by long-term disturbances in functionality that can be identified and effectively managed.
Changing how the systems function can have a major impact on the patient’s health.
The Functional Medicine practitioner examines a wide array of available interventions and customizes a treatment plan, including those with the most impact on underlying functionality.
Functional Medicine expands the clinician’s toolkit. Treatments may include combinations of drugs, botanical medicines, nutritional supplements, therapeutic diets, or detoxification programs. They may also include counseling on lifestyle, exercise, or stress-management techniques.
As a patient, you become an active partner with your Functional Medicine practitioner. This type of partnership allows you to be in charge of improving your own health and changing the outcome of a disease.
