Functional Medicine vs Conventional Medicine with Dr. Tim | Optimized Wellness Center
What is Functional Medicine?
FM is not so much an alternative as it is a bridge to a more effective chronic care model. Most people die of chronic conditions not acute. FM addresses the underlying causes of diagnosis using a "systems-oriented" vs "symptoms-oriented approach" engaging both the patients and the practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. It looks at the whole person and the interactions among genetic, environmental, social, and lifestyle factors which influence long-term health and complex, chronic diseases. Searching for a dynamic balance among the internal and external body, mind, and spirit seeking to enhance vigorous physiology and positive vitality. Familiarity with the web-like interconnections of internal physiological factors; promotion of organ reserve as the means to enhance the health span, not just the life span, of each patient.
