Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach that addresses the underlying causes of disease, rather than just treating symptoms. It considers the unique genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that contribute to an individual's health. Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on managing symptoms with medication, functional medicine aims to restore balance and promote overall wellness.
