Understanding Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine offers a patient-centered approach to chronic disease management. By seeking to answer the question, “Why are you ill?”, it offers personalized, effective care for your needs. Essentially, functional medicine is an individualized, patient-centered, and science-based approach. Key characteristics of this model are:

• Patient centred v/s disease centred
• Systems biology approach
• Balance of gene environment & lifestyle interaction
• Personalised based on individual biochemistry
• Health is not just absence of disease – it is an optimal state of complete physical, mental and social well-being
• Prevention of disease and focus on improving healthspan and longevity
• Function v/s pathology focused
