Introduction to Functional Medicine
Functional medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on addressing the root causes of illness and disease rather than just treating symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners view the human body as an interconnected system where the health or disease of one organ system can significantly impact the well-being of the others and the system as a whole. By exploring the complex web of factors influencing an individual's health, functional medicine practitioners seek to promote optimal wellness and develop personalized treatment plans tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
