What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a personalized approach that focuses on finding and treating the root causes of health issues, rather than just managing symptoms.
It considers your genetics, environment, and lifestyle to create a plan that may include nutrition, sleep, stress management, detox, and exercise to improve overall health.
