What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century.  By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just a set of isolated symptoms.  Functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and evaluating the interactions among genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease.  In this way, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.
