Functional Medicine

Functional medicine regards each patient as a whole, focusing on improving suboptimal health and preventing diseases. It considers all factors influencing health, including dietary habits, sleep quality, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors. This approach to healthcare emphasizes not only treating symptoms but also delving into the root causes and engaging in disease prevention during the diagnosis and treatment process.

Functional Medicine recognizes that chronic diseases stem from bodily function imbalances. There are many reasons for these imbalances, including nutritional deficiencies, endocrine imbalances, and gastrointestinal issues. These factors can also influence each other, so a comprehensive assessment is needed to identify the root cause. One significant difference between functional and conventional Medicine is in "personalized healthcare." Even if the symptoms are the same, the underlying factors contributing to the illness may vary significantly among patients. Therefore, doctors will develop tailored treatment plans for each patient to achieve the most appropriate and effective therapeutic outcomes.

Functional Medicine has shown significant efficacy in improving sub-health conditions and preventing and treating various chronic diseases. This includes boosting the immune system and reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and digestive system disorders.
