What are functional medicine and functional nutrition?
Functional medicine, highly acclaimed as the medicine of the future or the medicine that treats patients and not diseases, has become increasingly popular as a patient-oriented approach which addresses the underlying causes of diseases rather than their effects.
Functional medicine uses leading edge tools and technologies available in conventional medicine in combination with the latest testing methods in order to detect imbalances that represent the underlying cause of all chronic diseases.
At the core of functional medicine lies functional nutrition which abides by the same principles and uses food and nutrients to prevent, alleviate or heal various illnesses. Functional nutrition practitioners provide each patient with a personal health plan instead of standard solutions and dietary advice.
