Nutrition, Wellness, & Functional Medicine

Whether you’ve been introduced to functional medicine before or are just learning about it for the first time, health and nutrition play a larger role in functional medicine than you likely realize. In fact, an abundance of integrative medicine treatment comes down to nutrition and wellness. Functional medicine is a medical practice that looks at diseases from a holistic standpoint. 

The goal is always to determine and prevent the root causes which enabled the disease in the first place. Nutrition and lifestyle choices are often two of the most common places to start. Let’s break it down further

One of the first steps in following a nutritious diet is to understand what you need more and less of. For instance, those suffering from Type II Diabetes must avoid high-processed carbohydrates while a cancer patient looking to regain their strength will eat more high-protein foods. By having a base understanding of your current nutritional habits and connecting those to your chronic illness, we can provide a better course of action moving forward.
