What is that missing “something” in our medical system? What I see is a lack of emphasis on how food affects our bodies, how what we do and think affects our bodies, a lack of interest in us as individuals, a lack of individual support and encouragement, a lack of true listening to a patient’s story.
Functional Medicine addresses all of these lacking “somethings”. Functional Medicine is a systems biology approach that identifies and treats underlying causes of chronic illnesses. FM incorporates the latest research in genomics, systems biology, and the impact of environmental and lifestyle factors to improve outcomes for all chronically ill patients.
