Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of symptoms rather than just treating them. It looks at the human body as a complex system of systems that are intricately connected and working together to create health or disease. It takes a whole-person approach, considering lifestyle, environment, genetics, and emotional well-being to restore health and vitality.
