What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is an approach to medical care that focuses on treating the patient as an individual with an understanding that all body systems work together and affect each other. Functional medicine is concerned with treating the root cause of the symptoms and customizing treatment to the individual. A good treatment plan considers your genetics, lifestyle, and mental health to determine your best treatment options.

Your functional medicine doctor in Boynton Beach, FL, and Palm Beach, FL, examines the cause of your symptoms to determine treatment options. Traditional physicians often prescribe medications that mask symptoms instead of addressing the underlying cause of disease, and they can cause unpleasant side effects. Functional medicine uses alternative therapies and lifestyle adjustments to control symptoms and prevent complications from your illness without the side effects of medication.
