What you'll experience
Functional medicine is a systems-oriented approach that identifies and addresses the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners (MDs, DOs, NDs, or other licensed providers with advanced training) view the body as an interconnected whole where imbalances in one system affect others. They use advanced diagnostic testing and personalized treatment plans to restore optimal function.
Functional medicine consultations are comprehensive, often lasting 60-90 minutes or more. Practitioners take detailed health histories including diet, lifestyle, stress, environment, and genetics. They order specialized lab testing—comprehensive metabolic panels, hormone testing, gut microbiome analysis, toxin screening, nutritional deficiencies, and more—to identify underlying imbalances.
Treatment focuses on lifestyle interventions (nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management), targeted supplementation, and addressing root causes like gut dysfunction, inflammation, hormonal imbalances, or toxicity. Functional medicine excels at treating complex chronic conditions that conventional medicine struggles with—autoimmune diseases, digestive disorders, hormonal issues, chronic fatigue, and unexplained symptoms.

Evidence & safety
Functional medicine uses evidence-based testing and interventions, applied through a systems-biology lens. The approach is supported by research in systems biology, nutrition, and integrative medicine. When practiced by qualified, licensed practitioners with functional medicine training (e.g., IFM-certified), it's safe and effective. Costs can be higher than conventional care due to time investment and specialized testing. Many find it worth the investment for complex conditions. Best for those committed to active participation in their healing.
