Functional
medicine is the new paradigm in health & disease that is
taking the world of medicine by storm. Conventional medicine for chronic,
degenerative disease focuses on symptoms only and on masking these symptoms
with toxic chemicals that lead to undesirable side effects. Unlike this
conventional approach, functional medicine focuses on investigating the root of
the cause of the health imbalance or disease, and then, on rebalancing the
biochemistry of the organ that is malfunctioning with a natural, and yet, 100%
science-based approach. We focus on the “functionality” of the organ or tissue,
not on superficial symptom like pain or inflammation only.
Because most diseases begin
in the gut, investigating gut health is of primary importance in functional
medicine. The functional medicine practitioner or consultant is a detective
that investigates where the underlying root problem lies in the patient/
client’s body using state-of-the-art laboratory tests, called functional lab
tests. To investigate gut health and rule out candida, Sibo, IBS, IBD, bacterial infections, viral infections,
inflammation, dysbiosis, digestive insufficiency like insufficient bile
secretion, or insufficient hydrochloric acid secretion, or insufficient
pancreatic enzyme production, the functional medicine practitioner utilizes
advanced gastro-intestinal functional lab tests. All digestive issues are
directly related to diet, lifestyle, and factors like toxic load, liver
detoxification pathways that are impaired, immune reactions to foods (food intolerances),
overgrowth of bacteria, candida, yeast, or other microorganisms, and stress.
No matter what the health
problem may be, functional medicine will dig deeper than other approaches to
find the biochemical imbalance causing the main symptoms and address them with
nutrients, healing foods, lifestyle prescriptions, and stress management.
