What is Functional Nutritional Medicine?

While modern medicine has made advances in solving some complicated health riddles, these techniques are largely interventional, which means they work around the human body rather than with it. With Functional Medicine, we take an entirely different approach to your health that recognizes the intricate relationships between all your body's functions to unearth the root cause of your health issues. Essentially it is like being a medical detective.
When you have a medical complaint and see a medical doctor, they dutifully record your symptoms and your medical history and come up with a treatment plan that helps you find immediate symptomatic relief. More often than not, this means that the cause of the underlying problem is left unaddressed, which can lead to more serious problems down the road.
