What is Functional Medicine?

A revolutionary approach that asks "WHY?" instead of just treating symptoms.

Functional Medicine is a holistic, nutritional biochemistry-based approach that addresses the root causes of illness rather than simply managing symptoms.

Conventional medicine diagnoses the "what" by describing the pathology of the disease and then uses a pharmaceutical medication to block that pathology.

Functional Medicine investigates the root-cause underlying imbalances within interconnected body systems. It is a fundamentally different approach— a health promotion mechanism, rather than simply a disease management system.

The Bioenergetic Perspective

At the heart of our approach lies a bioenergetic perspective—the understanding that health fundamentally depends on your body's ability to produce and utilize energy efficiently at the cellular level.

Energy and function are intricately connected at every level. Every cell, tissue, organ, organ system, and the entire organism requires energy in order to do the work needed to carry out its function.

When this energy production system becomes compromised—whether through poor nutrition, toxic exposures, hormonal imbalances, or chronic stress—symptoms and disease emerge.

"If we learn to see problems in terms of a general disorder of energy metabolism, we can begin to solve them." – Dr. Raymond Peat
