Integrative Medicine vs. Functional Medicine
Many people ask us about the differences between functional medicine and integrative medicine. Integrative medicine focuses on using a combination of lifestyle modification, nutritional counseling, and therapies to treat the whole person. It uses an evidence-based approach to improve your overall health and wellness. Our experienced professionals will consider you an equal partner in your healing process and maintain a collaborative approach towards care and services.
Functional medicine takes a biology-based approach to health and wellness to identify and address the root cause of the illness, disease, and symptoms. A diagnosis can include more than one cause, and a cause can have multiple symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners take an individualized approach to patient care and focus on collaborative, holistic healthcare. Your treatment will focus on lifestyle changes, genetic components, and environmental factors to improve your health and wellness. Functional medicine services may include:
- Dietary and nutritional counseling.
- Medical weight loss.
- Medication and natural pain management.
- Exercise education.
- Meditation.
- Sleep counseling.
- Hormone therapy.
- Dietary supplements.
- IV therapy.
- Ozone therapy.
- Red light therapy.
