Functional medicine is a personalized, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness or imbalance in the body. It considers the complex interactions between genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors to optimize health and prevent disease.

 Yes! The practice of functional medicine is based on scientific research. Our programs are based on these findings. 

Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms with medications or surgeries, functional medicine seeks to understand and address the underlying factors contributing to health issues. It emphasizes a holistic approach, aiming to promote wellness rather than just managing disease.

Functional Medicine typically isn't covered by insurance as it operates outside the traditional "Diagnose and Treat" model. While conventional medicine often relies on medications or surgery to address symptoms directly, Functional Medicine takes a holistic approach, aiming to identify and address the root causes of health issues. Consequently, insurance coverage may not extend to Functional Medicine services. However, individuals may explore the possibility of reimbursement for related costs through flexible spending accounts (FSA) or health savings accounts (HSA) in certain cases.
