Functional and lifestyle medicine provides personalized care that emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and environment. Focused on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease, functional medicine uses a systems biology approach that recognizes the body as a single, interconnected system, where no part functions independently of the others. This practice prioritizes natural therapies to support and activate the body’s innate healing processes. Functional medicine providers are trained in both natural and conventional treatments, including supplements, acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, lifestyle counseling, and coaching.
