Functional Medicine/Nutrition Revealed

Functional Nutrition is an approach to holistic health that focuses on the whole body and the web-like interactions of all the systems, rather than diagnosing one system. It understand that the human body interacts dynamically with the environment producing predictable patterns and effects that may change over time. Chronic disease precedes a period of declining system “dys-function” like inflammation, GI dysfunction, stress, toxicity, opportunistic organisms, Etc. It’s individualized health care, because each person has their own individual set of circumstances, history and genetic background.
