HOW IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE DIFFERENT FROM CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE?
While conventional medicine focuses on suppressing the symptoms of a medical condition, Functional Medicine discovers and addresses its underlying causes.
Unlike conventional medicine, Functional Medicine addresses the patient as a whole – not as an isolated set of systems and symptoms.
Functional Medicine looks at both external (environmental) and internal (lifestyle) factors to determine the best course of patient care.
