The focal point of functional medicine is the patient, considering all aspects of bodily function rather than just isolated symptoms. Rather than solely treating symptoms, the approach strives to identify and tackle the underlying causes of ill health and disease.
Functional Medicine doctors and practitioners with a holistic approach have always viewed their patients as “whole people,” taking into account how a particular condition or disease affects various aspects of their lives, not just “what’s wrong with you.” This approach seeks to eliminate the problem at its root, rather than solely addressing symptoms.
Functional medicine practitioners view the body as an interconnected system, where imbalances or dysfunctions in one area can impact the overall health of the individual. They consider the complex web of interactions among various systems in the body, including the:
Functional Medicine has successfully aided numerous individuals in leading healthier lives by examining their health challenges, addressing their root causes through interventions such as dietary or lifestyle changes, and utilising a blend of natural and conventional remedies when appropriate.
It’s important to remember that you’re not alone in your struggle with chronic diseases. There are currently millions of people in the UK facing these daunting conditions, along with the added responsibility of maintaining overall health, which can be challenging when answers are not always readily available.
The two approaches are not opposed but instead complement each other and are suited to different circumstances. Functional medicine is most effective in managing chronic diseases, while standard medicine excels in treating acute conditions.
At Integrative Nutrition Clinic, we believe that the most efficient method for addressing chronic symptoms is to search for and resolve the root causes, as well as optimize diet and lifestyle. This frequently results in a significant reduction in the need for pharmaceutical drugs among our patients. Additionally, functional medicine doctors, practitioners, and clinics stay current with research in areas such as genetics, nutrition, systems biology, and disease processes. Our practitioners take the time to carefully review each patient’s history to gain a better understanding of how lifestyle, genetics, and environment interact in their individual cases.
Extended Consultation Times – Functional medicine practitioners typically spend considerably longer with each patient than in traditional doctor’s appointments. We take our time to prepare and conduct research to gain a thorough understanding of the patient’s history, genetics, individual biochemistry, and lifestyle, among other factors. Interventions and follow-ups are often ongoing until the patient achieves their health goals. In contrast, primary care GPs and physicians often have limited time and may not be able to devote as much time as they would like to each patient.
Multistep Approach – To restore optimal health, we employ a combination of interventions, including targeted high-end supplements, as well as nutritional and lifestyle changes.
Collaboration – Our approach emphasizes collaboration between the practitioner and the patient. By gaining a deeper understanding of themselves, the patient can make informed decisions and maintain optimal health in a way that is tailored to their physiology.
Functional Testing – We utilize specific functional and genetic tests to gain a better understanding of the patient’s unique physical makeup and identify underlying causes. We use various tools to comprehend where issues may arise.
