What is Functional Medicine anyway?
Functional medicine believes that medicine should be individualized rather than solely focusing on the diagnosis a person may have. Functional Medicine is interested in finding the root cause of the dis-ease of the body rather than just applying a “band-aide”. By using a systems-oriented approach to locate the “why” of dis-ease, such as lifestyle and environmental factors i.e. diet, stress and exposure to toxins, the root cause of dis-ease in the body can be identified and ultimately healed.
What can a Functional Medicine Health Coach do for you?
A Functional Medicine health coaching does not diagnose or treat disease. Instead, we focus on coaching up the areas of diet, stress, rest, and mobility to assist you in optimizing what the body needs and minimize what is causing dis-ease in the body. The goal of coaching is greater wellness and vitality, but the knowledge that is gained as you learn the why you feel the way you do and then how to correct it is a life-long gift. Now that’s EMPOWERING!
