What is Functional Medicine you ask? Functional medicine has been described as root cause medicine, an approach to health care that focuses on preventative measures and address imbalances before they become overt disease. It offers personalised care that helps provide solutions that are catered to your particular situation, rather than cookie cutter formulas by using diet, lifestyle, and sometimes supplement recommendations.
