FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Functional Medicine: The Key to Total Cell Optimization
At Root Healing Wellness we are committed to getting at the ROOT of your medical condition – and in our experience, many times healing can be accelerated or even optimized by the use of a holistic healing modality called functional medicine.
These results are used to determine the need for any nutritional supplementation and possible dietary and lifestyle recommendations.
What Is Function Medicine?
This type of process uses a variety of diagnostic testing including comprehensive blood work, stool, and saliva tests and urine analysis to assess how well your organs and bodily systems are functioning. For example, a full thyroid panel will not only show potential antibody involvement, but the lab values will also indicate if the thyroid pathway is operating properly. If the thyroid is not functioning well, it can point us to where the breakdown in the operation of the thyroid pathway is occurring.
We test for the ROOT causes such as:
Inflamation
food intolerances
nutritional deficiencies
hormones
adrenal function
leaky gut
parasites
heavy metals
and much more
How Does Functional Medicine Differ From Conventional Medicine?
Conventional medicine focuses on the symptoms of a disease and uses pharmaceutical drugs and/or surgery to suppress them. Functional medicine, on the other hand, works with the person as a whole and recognizes the interrelationships between nutrition, the environment and naturally occurring chemical processes in the body. Functional medicine can optimize your cells so they function at their best and most efficient.
