What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is a personalised, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of illness or disease. Instead of simply treating symptoms, functional medicine practitioners work to understand the underlying factors that may be contributing to a patient's health issues.
This approach takes into account the individual's unique genetic makeup, lifestyle, environment, and personal history using consultations and ab testing to create a customised treatment plan that addresses their specific needs.
By looking at the body as a whole and considering all aspects of a person's health, functional medicine aims to promote overall wellness and prevent future health problems. It is a holistic and integrative approach that empowers patients to take control of their health and well-being.
