Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is a holistic and personalized approach to healthcare that seeks to identify and address the root cause of health problems. This approach to medicine is becoming increasingly popular in Kansas, as more and more people are looking for a more effective and sustainable way to achieve optimal health. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of functional medicine and why it is the perfect solution for those looking to improve their health and wellbeing. A Functional Medicine Approach involves:
- Addresses the root cause of health problems: Unlike traditional medicine, which focuses on treating symptoms, functional medicine seeks to identify and address the underlying causes of health problems. This approach results in more effective and long-lasting solutions that not only treat symptoms but also improve overall health and wellbeing.
- Personalized approach: Functional medicine practitioners work closely with patients to create a personalized health plan that takes into account the individual’s unique needs, lifestyle, and medical history. This approach ensures that patients receive treatment that is tailored to their specific needs, leading to better health outcomes.
- Holistic approach: Functional medicine takes a holistic approach to healthcare, considering the entire person and all the factors that contribute to their health and wellbeing.
Conditions We Manage:
Functional medicine providers work with a wide range of health conditions, both acute and chronic. Some of the most common conditions they work with include:
- Digestive issues: such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and SIBO.
- Hormonal imbalances: such as thyroid disorders, PCOS, high cortisol, and menopause-related symptoms.
- Metabolic disorders: such as type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and obesity.
- Autoimmune diseases: such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis.
- Cardiovascular disease: including high blood pressure and high cholesterol
- Chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia.
- Neurological conditions: such as migraine headaches and neurodegenerative disease prevention
- Mental health conditions: such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD.
Functional medicine practitioners take a holistic, patient-centered approach to healthcare and work to identify and address the root causes of a person’s health issues, rather than simply treating symptoms.
