Conventional Medicine vs. Functional Medicine
If conventional medicine isn’t working for you, it may be time to try a holistic approach. Functional medicine can sometimes achieve resolution of illnesses that were thought to be untreatable in conventional medicine. Here’s how functional medicine makes a difference:
Conventional Care
Diagnoses Illness
Pharmaceutical, Surgery, & Procedure Based
Pathology & Disease Focused
Disease Centered, Generalized Approach
Patient passively receives treatment
Treats Symptoms from the Outside In
Views the Body as a Collection of Separate Parts
Functional Care
Identifies Sources of Illness
Lifestyle, Genetics, & Nutrition Based
Function & Prevention Focused
Patient Centered, Personalized Approach
Patient Actively Participates in Treatment
Treats the Root Cause from the Inside Out
Views the Body as an Interconnected Whole

What does a Treatment Plan look like?
Functional medicine focuses on optimizing the health of your mind, body, and spirit using a multi-disciplinary approach to chronic illnesses.
Treatments can include plans for prescribed combinations of medications, supplements, nutrient therapy, diet and exercise plans, detoxification programs, health coaching, behavioral therapy, stress management, relaxation techniques, hormone therapy, and lifestyle changes.
