Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine is a holistic system that provides individualized, drug-free recommendations to promote optimum health based on imbalances and dysfunctions identified from a variety of test results, most importantly a blood analysis. It is an innovative and scientific look at nutritional strengths and weaknesses through a comprehensive evaluation and blood analysis looking at all the organ systems as a whole and not individually and separately. Based on the findings, a clear and individualized plan is offered that includes diet, lifestyle, supplements, and herbs for health promotion.
To understand the underlying causes and roots of your conditions or state of health, it is paramount for your doctor to spend sufficient time evaluating your symptoms, and learn about your history, lifestyle, and diet as well as your daily routines and habits. So, Kris, will spend up to 2 hours during the initial consultations to evaluate and examine you. To gain access to your physiological and biological status, a complete nutritional blood analysis will be done. This will provide the blood secrets that are very unique to you and help the doctor to provide a highly personalized wellness program for you. But that’s not all, I will also determine your ayurvedic constitution or “Dosha” by Ayurvedic evaluation including but not limited to pulse and tongue analysis. In this way, another deeper layer of your unique individuality is revealed helping us further in designing your unique diet and food programs as well as prescribing herbal medicines and remedies.
