Functional Medicine is science based prevention. Recently Dr. Oz had a panel of functional medicine doctors on his show, and they shared with the world the future of true health care. No longer are we simply looking at diagnosing a disease then treating symptoms, now pioneers of functional medicine look to identify the drivers of disease processes and seek to help you support, reverse or cure many chronic diseases with lifestyle, dietary and science based clinical nutrition. Much of the investigation into your condition is done through advanced diagnostic testing which is not like standard lab testing, but rather is much more comprehensive and broad in scope.
