WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?

Functional Medicine practice is patient-centred, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together and address the underlying causes of the disease. It involves understanding patient’s genetic, biochemical, epigenetic, lifestyle factors and analyse that information to personalize treatment plan for improved outcomes. Unlike conventional medicine Functional Medicine involves addressing root cause and understanding the complexity of the disease rather than just treat the symptoms. It involves approaching patient’s health with holistic concept, realizing the fact that one condition can have many different causes and likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions.
