About

Functional Holistic Medicine….

Functional Medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both client and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. It is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century.

By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, Functional Holistic Medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.

Functional Holistic Medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, Functional Holistic Medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.

Functional Holistic Medicine is a personalized, systems-oriented model that empowers patients and practitioners to achieve the highest expression of health by working in collaboration to address the underlying causes of disease.

• Functional Holistic Medicine offers a powerful new operating system and clinical model for assessment, treatment, and prevention of chronic disease to replace the outdated and ineffective acute-care models carried forward from the 20th century.

• Functional Holistic Medicine incorporates the latest in genetic science, systems biology, and understanding of how environmental and lifestyle factors influence the emergence and progression of disease.

• Functional Holistic Medicine enables Healthcare Practitioners and other health professionals to practice proactive, predictive, personalized medicine and empowers patients to take an active role in their own health.
