Functional medicine is a personalized, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness or imbalance in the body. It considers the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors to optimize health and prevent disease.
Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms with medications or surgeries, functional medicine seeks to understand and address the underlying factors contributing to health issues. It emphasizes a holistic approach, aiming to promote wellness rather than just managing disease.
Functional medicine can address a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions, including digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune diseases, metabolic issues, chronic fatigue, and more. It's particularly effective for conditions with complex underlying causes.
During a functional medicine consultation, you can expect a comprehensive assessment of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle factors, and environmental influences. Your practitioner will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan focused on addressing the root causes of your health concerns.
Functional medicine incorporates a variety of treatment modalities, including nutritional therapy, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, targeted supplementation, detoxification protocols, and mind-body therapies. The approach is highly individualized based on each patient's unique needs.
The timeline for seeing results with functional medicine varies depending on the complexity of your health issues, your adherence to the wellness plan, and other factors. While some patients experience improvements in symptoms relatively quickly, achieving long-term wellness often requires ongoing commitment and patience.
What is Gut Health?
Your Gut is your Gastrointestinal System that includes your stomach, intestines, and colon. Your Gut absorbs nutrients from food and expel waste. Gut Health may mean something different for researchers and practitioners. In this practice, it means having a healthy gut microbiome (bacteria, viruses, and fungi) living in the human body and limited digestive symptoms.
What are the causes?
Certain microorganisms are harmful to your health while others may be necessary for your healthy body. Your Gut Health can impact both your physical and mental health.
Your body microbiome can be affected by stress, lack of sleep, lack of physical activity, eating lots of process foods, smoking, drinking alcohol, taking antibiotics.
What are the common Signs and Symptoms?
Some signs of digestive symptoms are bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, and heartburn, fatigue, anxiety, and high frequency of common colds.
Improving your gut health can be done through lifestyle and diet changes at times you may supplement to assist in getting you to your optimal Gut Health.
