"Let medicine be thy food and let food be thy medicine,” as said by Hippocrates, the father of medicine.
​
The art of Functional Medicine (FM) takes this Hippocratic sentiment to heart. Functional medicine is a systems biology-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease-IFM (Institute of Functional Medicine). No matter your condition, it is likely that FM can help alleviate your pain. Food *is* our medicine - it’s just a matter of choices.
​
Functional Nutrition uses a holistic approach taking into consideration all factors for health such as lifestyle, diet, stressors, toxins, and environmental causes. Standard nutrition focuses on nutritional info, such as whether a food or food category can promote or harm health, i.e. whether it is beneficial or detrimental to your body. Functional nutrition, however, combines these factors with the perspective of an individual's unique physiological nature and lifestyle - this includes how frequently they exercise, the quality of their relationships, and the amount of stress in their life. Each of these factors plays a role in the body’s health and physiological systems - and effective nutrition can help combat problems at their root causes.
​
In this way, Functional Nutrition holds the keys to Functional Medicine's success.
