What is
Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a comprehensive and personalized approach to understanding the root cause of an individual's health issues.
The goal is to go beyond simply masking our patient's symptoms and get to the root cause of the issue. We use a variety of techniques, such as nutrition, life style adjustments and various different test kits, to try to identify and remedy any systemic issues to get our patients to their optimum health.
