What is "Functional Medicine?"  It is cutting edge health care that looks at the whole person. and many different systerms, treating the WHOLE person, as opposed to a given area.  Using diagostic testing, DNA analysis, blood work, urine, saliva and other tests, doctors in this area can determine your overall health and pinpoint specific organs or organ systems that may be dysfunctional.  In some cases, long before pathological consequences results. 

From prevention to handling chronic conditions, functional medicine is based on the idea that the body is an inter-related system, and that no part of the body works all by itself, without having some effect on other parts of the body.

For example, Vitamin D deficiency is a common problem and a lack of this critical vitamin in the body, can affect bio-chemical reactions amongst cells and affect energy levels.

Toxicity, from chemicals, foods, or other by products of waste, can back of the liver affecting its ability to function normally, or in some cases, cause water retention and swelling.   This then can cause additonal stress on the heart and cardiovascular system.  

Getting your body to FUNCTION better, and in some cases, normally again, can have a dramatic impact on how you look and feel.  Often patients find renewed energy, loss of weight, improved biological function, and an overall better outlook by simply feeling better.

It has been said " Your Health Is Your Greatest Wealth".   Functional Medicine gives you the patient an opportunity to improve what you know as the "status quo" for you, and improving your overall wellness.
