Functional Medicine is an approach to healthcare that focuses on addressing the root causes of disease and addressing the whole person rather than just managing symptoms. It incorporates a personalized, client-centered approach to optimize health and well-being.

While conventional medicine often focuses on treating symptoms or managing diseases with medication, Functional Medicine seeks to identify and address the underlying imbalances that contribute to illness. It takes a holistic view of the body, considering the interactions between genetics, lifestyle, environment, and more.
