At ProActive Health, we strongly believe in the benefits that functional medicine offers, but what is it exactly? In society today, we have often been taught that simply taking certain medications prescribed to us will fix any bodily issues that we are experiencing. Though this can be the case, usually, these prescription drugs simply put a Band-Aid over the issue. Whereas with functional medicine, the goal is to discover the underlying factors that cause illness and uncomfortable symptoms. We then build a personalized plan to eliminate the problem, not simply reduce it.
This is because symptoms on their own do not show us where the root cause is. Instead, they guide us to where we need to look, and once we find the root cause, we can begin to build a plan to address the issues at hand.
The first place that functional medicine leads us is to address any nutritional problems. We do this by using supplements to speed up the healing process. By using supplements, we bring some symptomatic relief with far fewer side effects compared to drugs.
We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite supplements that we recommend to our patients. If you’re interested in learning more about how supplements can help you, schedule an appointment with us today, and we’ll help create a personalized plan for you.
