What is Integrative & Functional Medicine?

To understand the foundation of these programs, it is important to note that functional and integrative medicine are variations on a comprehensive, holistic approach to health and wellness. Functional medicine centers on identifying and addressing root causes of chronic illness. Integrative medicine combines conventional medicine treatments with complementary therapies to address the whole person—mind, body and spirit. Other terms often used to describe functional and integrative medicine are complementary or alternative medicine. There is a lot of crossover between these terms, so our use of ‘Integrative Medicine’ is to be inclusive of functional, complementary, and alternative medicine methods.

Why Add Functional Medicine To Your Practice?

As a health or medical professional, the entire goal is to improve patient outcomes, right? By adding functional or integrative medicine protocols and methods, especially for those with chronic conditions, you have the opportunity to improve patient outcomes. You’ll become a “health detective,” helping to find the root causes of illness & solve the mystery of “why” & “how.”

Beyond prescriptions that may suppress symptoms, functional & integrative medicine can help your patients & clients dramatically improve their health—& lives—addressing environmental & chemical impacts, rooting out causes through functional medicine testing, improving outcomes with supplementation, & focusing on prevention of future illness. It’s a more satisfying way to grow & achieve more in your health & medical career.
