Functional Medicine in St. Louis
Functional Medicine is the latest trend, but a very practical approach to healthcare. The difference between traditional medicine and functional medicine is that functional medicine takes a deeper look into individual concerns in an attempt to identify a timeline of events that may contribute to why a patient is feeling the way that they are feeling. It incorporates things like nutrition and lifestyle in order to have a better understanding of the entire clinical picture for each individual patient.
Functional Medicine vs Conventional Medicine
Conventional medicine often focuses on naming diseases and using a pill for every ill. We take a different approach. Functional Medicine views the body as one integrated system, not a collection of independent organs that should be divided up by medical specialties. To put it simply, we treat the whole system, not just the symptoms.
Clinicians choose to practice functional medicine for a variety of reasons. Patients report an overall improvement in outcomes of chronic diseases and clinicians report an increased sense of professional satisfaction.
