What is a Functional medicine?

As you all know, conventional medicine is about the signs and symptoms of disease and how they relate to organ systems. This is the basis of the creation of specialties in medicine like cardiology, pulmonology, urology, and neurology. Doctors are taught a wealth of information and given excellent tools that allow them to practice exceptional organ based medicine and make an organ based diagnosis. 

What makes functional medicine different is that it is systems based medicine. This means that in addition to the great descriptive medicine that doctors learned in medical school, systems-based medicine provides an explanation of underlying mechanisms and root causes of disease. Functional medicine practitioners don’t just suppress symptoms, but address the underlying root causes.
