What is a functional medicine doctor?

“From my viewpoint, Functional Medicine is something that you use to estimate the current status of the person functionally. Because think about it — a body is used to function. The actual definition of Functional Medicine is ‘a systems biology approach’. So we’re not using a symptom to give a drug to the person like a band-aid. We discover what systems in the body are not in balance, so that we can then bring them into balance — and the symptoms drop away. We’re actually addressing the underlying pathology that leads to the manifestations of disease in a person.”

Dr. Anju Mathur

 

A functional medicine doctor is a healthcare professional who takes a holistic medicine and personalized approach to patient care, focusing on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. Unlike conventional medicine, which often relies on standardized treatments, functional medicine emphasizes the interconnectedness of the body’s systems and considers factors such as genetics, environment, and lifestyle in diagnosing and managing health issues. These doctors use a combination of traditional medical practices and evidence-based alternative therapies, working closely with patients to develop tailored treatment plans that promote long-term health and wellness. Their goal is to restore the body’s natural balance and support its ability to heal itself.
