What is Functional Medicine?
The functional medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.
Unlike ‘holistic nutritionist,’ a broadly used, unregulated term, you will receive care from a fully licensed, advanced credentialed, functional medicine Dietitian with order writing privileges who holds a masters degree in medical nutrition sciences. This ensures you receive personalized care backed by scientific expertise.
