HOW IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE DIFFERENT FROM CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE?
While conventional medicine focuses on suppressing the symptoms of a medical condition, Functional Medicine is discovers and addresses its underlying causes.

Functional Medicine looks at both external (environmental) and internal (lifestyle) factors to determine the best course of patient care.
