  1. Life-Changing Benefits of Functional Medicine Functional medicine uses a holistic treatment approach to treating chronic health problems that cannot be treated using traditional remedies and medication. It combines your ongoing treatment plan with an alternative approach that helps enhance your overall fitness and wellness while focusing on nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management. We spoke to Dr. Mitra Tahvildarian, PhD, who gave us a few insights into the benefits of functional medicine. She said, most of us are familiar with the standard medical approach. If you are ill, your doctor will ask you about your symptoms, make a diagnosis, and prescribe a treatment to alleviate your symptoms. Hopefully, you are feeling better, but whatever is causing those symptoms is frequently ignored. A functional medicine doctor seeks to address the underlying causes. Those who practice functional medicine understand that wellness is more than just suppressing symptoms; it is also about identifying and healing fundamental dysfunctions within our bodies that may be causing us to become ill. Functional medicine is a broader approach to healing that seeks to help you recover from disease rather than just manage it. Here, are the top five benefits of functional or integrative medicine: 1. Functional Medicine Focuses on Details Functional medicine considers each individual to be genetically and biochemically unique, it treats the individual rather than the disease. Rather than just treating disease symptoms, this approach seeks to restore the body's normal healing functions.

  2. 2. Natural, Less Invasive Treatments are Available While prescription drugs are frequently appropriate and required, they may not always be totally successful for all individuals or have negative side effects. Functional medicine stresses less invasive procedures whenever possible and offers natural solutions for resolving health and medical issues. According to Dr. Mitra, functional medicine is a "marriage" of complementary (alternative) medicine and traditional medicine. It strengthens the body's intrinsic capacity to heal itself while combining safe, evidence-based alternative medicine with conventional therapy. 3. Treats the Person, Not Just the Symptom or Disease Functional (Integrative) medicine addresses the entire individual rather than simply a symptom or condition. It considers all aspects of your health, including biological, behavioral, psychological, and environmental influences. Not only the physical, but also the emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being are necessary for true health. 4. Addresses the Root Cause of Disease It promotes overall health since it deals with the underlying causes of illness. For instance, it aims to increase immunity by addressing gut health and inflammation, enhances the quality of life by treating hormone imbalances, assesses nutritional status by looking for vitamin shortages and food sensitivities,

  3. and calls for the removal of harmful exposures. Many of these same issues can be addressed in order to improve mental health. 5. Focuses on You and Your Needs Functional medicine is healthcare that has been customized for you. You and your requirements are at the center of the care. A functional medicine practitioner takes the necessary time and collaborates with you to think about all viable treatments. Dr. Mitra claims, "It's not just a medicine for an illness." In today's world, functional medicine is practiced by functional medicine certified expert doctors and other licensed health professionals is a cutting-edge approach that aims to change how medicine works by changing the questions physicians ask. Functional medicine treats each individual, not the disease to achieve a healthy lifestyle.
