How Does Functional Medicine Help
Our Patients?
Functional medicine helps our patients by addressing the root causes of their health issues rather than merely reducing symptoms. We start by taking a comprehensive look at each patient's medical history, lifestyle, diet and environment to identify underlying imbalances. Through detailed assessments and advanced diagnostic testing, we uncover the factors contributing to their condition.
With this information, we develop personalized treatment plans that may include habit adjustments, lifestyle changes, and targeted treatment. Our approach aims to restore balance to the body’s systems and promote overall wellness.
By focusing on long–term health and prevention, functional medicine can effectively manage chronic conditions like autoimmune diseases, digestive disorders, and hormonal imbalances, helping patients achieve sustainable improvement and a better quality of life.

How is Functional Medicine Different From Conventional Medicine?
Functional Medicine differs from conventional medicine in its approach to understanding and treating health issues. While conventional medicine typically focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases with medications or surgeries, often addressing symptoms rather than causes, Functional Medicine seeks to uncover the root causes of illness. It takes a holistic view of the body, recognizing that all systems are interconnected. For instance, a problem in your digestive system might be connected to a hormonal imbalance or even emotional stress.
Functional Medicine practitioners at Active Lifestyle Medical will spend time understanding your full health history, lifestyle, and environment to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
