When all is said and done, functional medicine recognizes the need for a life in balance with connection, community, love, support, and a sense of empowerment as essential elements for achieving optimal health.

Here’s a quick review of the topics discussed today:

Functional medicine considers the whole body both in the diagnosis stage and the treatment stage.

‍

Functional medicine treats the root cause of an illness, not just the symptoms.

‍

Functional medicine uses natural treatments with fewer adverse side effects.

‍

Functional medicine combines scientifically proven treatments with alternative medicine to produce an integrated medical solution.

‍

Functional medicine often utilizes diagnostic tests that can identify cells that are moving toward disease but are not yet diseased.

‍

Functional medicine focuses on disease prevention and more adequately address chronic conditions.

While conventional medicine has been the methodology for treatment for decades, it may not be enough to address systemic conditions. Because chronic disease diagnosis has been on the rise, many people are looking to functional medicine to treat conditions systematically.

Functional medicine has been referred to as medical care of the future because it takes conventional medicine to the next level by incorporating more holistic ideas and methods that actually work.

Because functional medicine addresses more than just physical well-being, reducing stress is also an essential aspect of disease prevention.

Any number of stress reduction techniques can be utilized depending on what will fit into your personal lifestyle. Your practitioner may suggest incorporating a daily meditation practice, breathing exercises, or yoga to help reduce stress.

Between the pressures of work, social, and home life, stress is an inevitable aspect of life. Finding natural outlets for reducing stress are recognized by functional health practitioners as an essential aspect of wellness.

The body is intelligently designed to eliminate toxins; however, today’s highly processed diet and chemical-filled environment can overwhelm the detox organs.

Functional medicine addresses issues with toxic burden and enhances the body’s natural detoxification processes. A straightforward technique for aiding detoxification may be to drink more pure water. Many herbal remedies can also be utilized to promote the optimal functioning of the liver and other detox organs.

Our bodies are fueled by the foods we eat, which is why addressing issues of the digestive system is something that functional medicine takes seriously.

Digesting, absorbing, and assimilating all the food and nutrients we eat is critical for health. A breakdown anywhere in this process creates illness. Many conditions stem from a condition known as leaky gut syndrome.

The balance of beneficial and harmful bacteria in the gut plays a tremendous role in our health. By properly balancing the gut bacteria, many symptoms can be lessened or dissipate altogether.

Inflammation throughout the body often accompanies a chronic disease. While inflammation plays a vital role in protecting the body from foreign invaders or abnormal cells, and overactive inflammatory response can cause illness.

Functional medicine addresses inflammation by correcting nutrient deficiencies and hormonal imbalances.

Post 14

Hormonal balance is another core body system addressed through functional medicine. Imbalances can occur for any number of reasons including medication side effects, diabetes, stress, thyroid disorders, and more.

Hormonal imbalances can occur in both men and women and are responsible for a number of adverse health conditions. Symptoms can range from mild to severe including weight gain, fatigue, depression, and physical pain to name a few.

Depending on the type of hormonal imbalance in question, functional medicine utilizes a number of tests to confirm an imbalance including blood tests, ultrasound, biopsy, MRI, X-ray, thyroid scan, and more.

When addressing specific conditions, functional medicine taps into a number of core body systems to encourage natural healing.

The first step is often to optimize nutrition. The right balance and quality of macronutrients (protein, fats, and carbohydrates), and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) can kickstart the body’s natural healing process.

It’s true. We are what we eat. A diet high in sugar, unhealthy fats, and processed foods can cause the immune system to be overactive. A diet rich in antioxidants and phytonutrients from all the colorful pigments in plant foods, on the other hand, support our wellbeing.

Through functional medicine, you will work with your practitioner to create a diet that works for your lifestyle and provides your body with the fuel and protection it needs.

When you visit a functional medicine practitioner, you can expect to spend a lot more time with them than you would with a conventional provider. You can also expect to do most of the talking. A functional practitioner is trained to listen to patients while gathering a detailed personal and family history, the circumstances around your first symptoms, and your lifestyle habits and health behaviors.

The reason for such a detailed account of your health is to uncover the underlying causes of your health problems and determine which types of physical examination and laboratory testing are best suited for your individual needs.

Topics your practitioner may discuss with your include:

-Simple lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise and better sleep

-Testing for hormone imbalances or nutritional deficiencies

-Assessing family medical history and using FM as a means of prevention

-Strengthening the body’s normal healing abilities rather than narrowly attacking symptoms or disease

-Eating whole foods instead of unhealthy processed foods

Post 8

The most important element of the functional medicine approach is the prevention of disease. As the adage goes, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”

The goal is to help the body to function optimally with the intent to support self-healing. Rebalancing the body once a disease has progressed is more involved and may require medical intervention which is why prevention is preferred.

The tools utilized by functional medicine reach far beyond pharmaceuticals and surgery. Detoxification programs and stress management techniques are often used and tailored to what the individual patient needs.

The partnership created between physician and patient allows the patient to become an active participant in the healing process, providing the patient to be in control of improving their health and achieving optimal wellness.

The foundation of functional medicine is based on three main pillars of healthcare.

PATIENT-CENTERED CARE

Patient-centered care is the practice of caring for patients, and their families, in ways that are meaningful and valuable to the individual patient. This involves creating a client-doctor partnership for creating an individualized care plan.

INTEGRATIVE, SCIENCE-BASED METHODOLOGY

Functional medicine utilizes the latest evidence in medical research and clinical expertise. The complex web of genetics, medical history, physiology, and lifestyle create an “inside-out” approach to identify any physiological imbalances.

INTEGRATING BEST MEDICAL PRACTICES FROM MULTIPLE DISCIPLINES

Functional medicine often combines traditional Western medical practices with other types of therapeutic approaches from around the world. The integration of multiple disciplines emphasizes

-prevention of disease through nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle,

-use of the latest laboratory testing and diagnostic techniques, and access to combinations of medications, botanicals, supplements, therapeutic diets, exercise plans, rehabilitation plans, detoxification programs, and stress management techniques.
