Functional medicine is a root cause, systems-based approach to healing. It involves getting a very detailed health history, often diving deeper with detailed labs, taking into account every aspect of your health, and putting all of the puzzle pieces together to figure out what body systems are out of balance, to then plan the best way to restore that balance. Treatment plans almost always include diet and lifestyle changes that are sustainable for the rest of your life, often supplements for vitamins and minerals you are found to be deficient in, and any added treatments such as biologics or prescription medications. Every single person has a unique story and health history, genetic make-up, environmental toxin exposure level, and lifestyle – therefore, every single person’s path towards healing will look different. 

Licensed healthcare providers who methodically incorporate both conventional and complementary treatment strategies are referred to as providing integrative care.  Conventional or Allopathic medicine, also known as “mainstream” or “Western medicine,” is the main type of medicine taught at U.S. medical schools and practiced by the majority of doctors and healthcare professionals in this country. Complementary therapies include a broad range of healing philosophies, approaches, and therapeutic modalities that the allopathic/conventional medicine world does not as commonly study, accept, use, or make available. Different types of complementary therapies are mind-body medicine (i.e. meditation, breathwork, expressive therapies), biologically-based therapies (i.e. botanicals, animal-derived extracts, vitamins, minerals, whole diet, functional foods), manipulative and body-based methods (i.e. osteopathic manipulation, chiropractic, massage, reflexology), energy therapies (i.e. Reiki, healing touch, therapeutic touch), and whole/alternative medical systems (i.e. Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, classical homeopathy and indigenous healing systems). Integrative medicine highlights the significance of the relationship between healthcare provider and patient, prioritizes holistic care, is guided by evidence, and utilizes a variety of therapeutic methods, healthcare experts, and disciplines to attain optimal well-being.
