What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is an integrative approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic illness and disease. Instead of simply treating symptoms, practitioners work to understand the underlying imbalances in the patient's body and use a combination of traditional and alternative therapies to restore balance and promote healing.
At Modern Functional Medicine Center, Dr. Bronwen Martin and Dr. Andy Martin help patients with many chronic health conditions, including autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and more. If you have a chronic health problem and want a more holistic, patient-centered approach to healthcare, we invite you to schedule a consultation with one of our skilled doctors of functional medicine in Houston, TX.
What Is Functional Medicine?
One of the main advantages of functional medicine is that it focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic illness rather than simply treating symptoms. By understanding the unique imbalances in each patient's body, functional medicine practitioners can create personalized treatment plans targeting the underlying causes of their health issues.
This approach can lead to more effective and long-lasting results, plus improved overall health and wellness. Additionally, functional medicine emphasizes the importance of lifestyle factors such as nutrition, exercise, and stress management, which can help patients maintain optimal health and prevent future health issues. Functional medicine offers a holistic, patient-centered approach to healthcare that can help you achieve the best possible health outcomes.
Schedule Your Appointment
During a consultation, our doctor typically discusses a patient's medical history, symptoms, lifestyle habits, and any environmental factors contributing to their health issues. They may also conduct advanced laboratory testing to gather more information about the patient's biochemistry and use that data to create a personalized treatment plan that addresses the root cause of the patient's condition rather than just treating their symptoms. Additionally, they may suggest changes to the patient's diet, exercise routine, and stress management techniques to optimize their overall health and well-being.
