To define Functional Medicine we must first define disease, which is an abnormal condition that affects the structure or FUNCTION of part or all of the body. I like to break the word down to DIS-EASE or the state that is opposite of ease.
Functional Medicine is very different than traditional conventional medicine. As a Certified Functional Medicine Provider, CFMP our ultimate goal is to get to the root cause of dis-ease. Then restore optimal FUNCTION to the body by highly personalized holistic and natural methods.
Functional Medicine is about letting your body tell us its story. Each sign or symptom is communication and we are here to listen and interpret that language.
