Many people are curious as to what functional medicine is, essentially, and how it differs from conventional medicine. In this episode, you’ll hear all about the principal differences and the patient-centered philosophy of functional medicine. We discuss the ways in which functional medicine aims to address the root cause of disease, as opposed to its insurance-based counterpart. Instead of suppressing inflammation, functional medicine delves into all the factors that may be causing the inflammation in the first place and looks to restore health holistically rather than simply managing symptoms. Tune in to find out about functional medicine’s core processes and the core imbalances it tackles!
