What is functional medicine / integrative medicine?

Functional and integrative medicine are comprehensive, whole-person approaches combined with conventional Western medicine to address general wellness, prevention and chronic illnesses. The goal of functional and integrative medicine is to evaluate and treat the root causes of disease and dysfunction within the body’s organ systems. Functional/integrative medicine uses a variety of tools, such as personalized laboratory testing, nutrition assessments, mind-body health evaluations, and an approach that focuses on the uniqueness of you.
