The Principles of Functional Medicine:
– To help patients reach optimal health, functional medicine practitioners follow these principles:
– Collaboration between the patients and practitioners. Practitioners encourage patients to participate in the patient-centred approach. Goals, decisions and plans are thought out between the patient and practitioner.
– Everyone is unique. Practitioners treat the patients as individuals, not as diseases.
– Everything has a connection. A patient’s body is recognized as one ecosystem. All physiological factors are intersected.
– Find a balance. Instead of encouraging the body to react to pharmaceuticals, functional medicine practitioners help patients with natural remedies. In other words, practitioners support natural healing without conventional prescriptions. Balance is also sought between the mind, body and soul.
– Promote long-lasting health. Functional medicine practitioners do not believe in just alleviating a disease. Rather, being healthy involves implementing wholesome lifetime habits. This means improving the “health span” of a patient by ensuring that the organs are optimally functioning.
– Understand a patient’s biochemical history. The practitioner must understand each patient’s biology, which includes genetic makeup and environment.
– Evidence should be considered. Practitioners should be aware of science-based evidence that supports the patient’s individual treatment.
