The goal of functional medicine is to identify the root cause of symptoms and correct the underlying issue rather than prescribing a medicine to treat the symptom. An alteration in one system may present in a seemingly unrelated medical condition.
Functional medicine is based on the understanding that our body’s systems, including the brain, are an intimately connected network often more capable of healing than we imagine. It usually starts with food as medicine.
Integrative medicine focuses on incorporating both traditional medicine and alternative therapies. I address all aspects of a woman’s health: mind, body, and spirit to help them achieve vibrant health and wellness.
