Think of your body as a machine. If you maintain it properly, you get a perfectly operating piece of machinery. But if you don't oil the hinges and fix the broken parts, it will no longer function properly.
Unlike a machine, your body has the ability to heal itself.
This is called innate healing. You see this after you get a scrape or a bruise — after a few days, your scrape forms new skin and your bruise disappears. You've witnessed your body's innate ability to heal itself. And your body has this ability on a much larger scale than most people realize.
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, Functional Medicine addresses the whole person and their causes — not just an isolated set of symptoms.
The Problem with Prescriptions and Injections
Although prescriptions and injections might treat your injury or headache temporarily, they only address the symptoms of a much larger problem — not the cause. By using Functional Medicine, not only is it a safer alternative to traditional medicine, you are also using your body's superpower of self-healing, something traditional medicine fails to utilize.
Functional medicine allows for a permanent healing solution.
