What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a branch of the healing arts that focuses on early assessment and intervention to improve the physical, mental and physiological function of a person’s life.
At the Healthy for Life Wellness Center we describe Functional Medicine is an integrative, science based approach to health care that treats patients as a whole person rather than a set of symptoms. By shifting a disease-centered medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, practitioners are able to spend time with their patients and evaluate their medical history, as well as the genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that can influence the patient's long-term health. At our center functional medicine aims to maintain a patient's overall health on a preventative, individual basis.
A functional medicine assessment is an examination into your present state of health and body function. It is an early indicator of imbalances in fundamental processes that can be an underlying CAUSE of many common symptoms and health problems.
