Functional medicine is a personalized science based alternative medicine. It deals with primary prevention and underlying causes for improving physiological function, instead of treating symptoms.
Functional Medicine Principles:
- Biochemical Individuality
- Patient-Centered Medicine
- Dynamic Balance
- Web-Like Interconnections
- Health as Vitality
- Promotion of Organ Reserve
What Are The Major Differences?
- Allopathic or Traditional Medicine practitioners will write you a prescription for a medication that will help to treat your symptoms.
- Functional or Integrative Medicine practitioners take a different approach. Rather than simply treating your symptoms, they seek to find the root cause of your illness or disease.
Integrative Medicine, is personalized medicine with your wellness goals in mind. Treating the whole body to resolve chronic and underlying disease... rather than just treating symptoms.
Integrative Testing Techniques
Autonomic Response Testing (ART)
Also Known As Muscle Testing & Applied Kinesiology Testing. ART is most helpful in localizing areas of inflammation, which then allows confirmatory laboratory testing to be much more specific. ART testing can help find and treat past emotional traumas that may be adversely affecting a patient’s autonomic nervous system, which controls all the bodies organ functions.
Energetic Supplement Testing
Energetic testing ensures products do what they are intended to do. Autonomic Response Testing (ART) enables the examiner to find organs, joints, etc., that are under stress. Once the organ is located, for example, the gall bladder, we can energetically test gall bladder supplements to see if they can correct the issue. We can also compare products to see which is more effective.
