Functional Medicine is cutting edge health care that looks at the whole person. and investigates many different interlinking systerms, treating the WHOLE person, as opposed to a given disease, organ or area. Using the latest in diagostic testing, DNA analysis, comprehensive and expanded blood testing, urine, saliva, fungus, bacteria, hormone, and other tests, doctors utilizing functional medicine concepts will determine your overall health through these parameters 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 adversly affect organ function and energy levels.

Toxicity from chemicals, the environment, foods, plastics or other by products, and natural waste products of cells can back up within 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. A cascade of failures can lead to truly poor health, and these conditions are not typically addressed by pharmaceuticals. The prescription drug approach merely attempts to "manage" the symptoms of systemic failure.

Getting your body to FUNCTION better, and in most cases function 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 because of simply feeling better.
