Functional medicine and how it is used: Each disease has a particular driver which is what we focus on with using functional medicine. The body functions as a whole and not just by systems. A great example that can be used is inflammation; what is the cause? Let’s get to the root of the problem and not just treat the symptoms.

Inflammation occurs as a response to a particular trigger such as toxins, infections, allergens, stress and poor diet, just to name a few. So the idea is to get to the bottom of these triggers to heal the body as a whole. Typically, medicine focuses on the name of the disease and what pharmaceuticals is used to treat such disease or ailment. It is time to start focusing more on understanding the drivers/triggers and the cause of the disease.
