What is functional health?
Conventional Health: It is the healthcare we all know and have experienced. It is otherwise known as traditional healthcare or allopathic healthcare. It typically includes your primary care doctor annual physicals, urgent care evaluation, specialists such as cardiology, etc. The focus is on diagnosing and treating diseases through acute care and symptoms management. Relies on evidence based approaches such as medications, surgeries/interventions. Great for emergencies and life saving treatments as well as screenings for certain cancers and diagnosing diseases. Often subjected to insurance plan requirements and approvals as well as limited time.
Functional Health: Evaluates and treats the root cause of disease with a holistic patient centered view. Considers factors such as genetics, environment and lifestyle. Treatment plans include diet, lifestyle changes such as stress management and sleep hygiene, movement, supplements, and prescriptions as needed. Is often cash based which allows the provider and patient adequate time to address issues.
