What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine was created by a group of very honest American doctors around 30 years ago who honesty admitted that the Pharma-based approach to health and disease taught conventionally to all Western doctors causes addictions and bad side effects, all while never really addressing the root of the problems, but that merely insists on masking the apparent symptoms with chemicals. They then designed a science-based system that is holistic in nature, meaning, that focuses on understanding the patient as a being made of body, mind, and soul - and not just made of bodily tissues-, and that addresses disease not as a set of symptoms needing to be treated exclusively with pharmaceuticals, but instead, as imbalances in the patient’s internal biochemistry that can be rebalanced with nutrition, exercise, breathing exercises, sun exposure, nature exposure, effective stress management practices, a positive mindset, the practice of spirituality, and the use of targeted natural nutrients in therapeutic dosages all capable of effecting the biochemistry of the dysfunctional organ or system without causing harm, addictions, allergic reactions or toxicities. Functional Medicine also designed their own functional lab tests (not covered by Bupa or similar, and not offered by the NHS) which are based on modern and advanced scientific models with tight markers’ ranges that actually allow for the detection of the progression of disease.
