What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a patient-centred approach that seeks to identify and address the root causes of health issues, rather than just treating symptoms. Unlike conventional medicine's disease-focused model, it views the body as an interconnected system and examines how genetics, environment, and lifestyle choices influence overall health. Practitioners spend extended time with patients, gathering detailed histories and conducting comprehensive assessments to uncover underlying imbalances.

They then create personalised treatment plans that may include nutrition, lifestyle modifications, supplements, and conventional treatments when needed. This systematic approach aims to promote lasting wellness by empowering patients to take an active role in their health journey, focusing on prevention and optimization rather than just disease management.
