Functional Medicine/Nutrition

Functional medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that considers the individual’s unique physical, mental, emotional, and environmental factors to address the root cause of chronic illnesses. Nutrition plays a key role in functional medicine, as it emphasizes the importance of nutrient-dense, whole foods in promoting optimal health. Practitioners of functional medicine often work with patients to develop personalized dietary plans based on their individual needs and health goals. This approach recognizes that different people may require different nutrient balances, and that nutrition is not a one-size-fits-all solution. By focusing on the underlying causes of disease and utilizing the power of nutrition, functional medicine seeks to help individuals achieve optimal health and prevent chronic illness.
