What is Functional Medicine?

The Functional Medicine is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that is the focus of my practice. The Functional Medicine empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness.

It is an evolutional medicine of the 21st century.

 Not focus on disease but focus on patients as a whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms, by addressing root cause, rather than symptoms. We may find one condition has many different causes and one cause may result in many different conditions. Functional Medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.

Why do we need Functional Medicine?

Recently there are so many people that who suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, nasal allergy, irritable bowel syndrome, Inflammatory bowel disease, atopic dermatitis, asthma, breast cancer, colon cancer, mental illness and autoimmune disease such as Hashimoto's diseases. 

  Unfortunately, conventional medicine focus to get rid of surface symptoms not on root cause. That seems effective on short term, but actually it masks symptom but not cure the root cause. 

 For example, if you have hypertension, your conventional doctor may prescribes anti-hypertensive drug. But if the cause of hypertension is arsenic, how to cure your condition?  If focus only hypertension, you might progress other disease such as cancer caused by arsenic.

(Arsenic is one of cause of hypertension and cancer or other problems)

 

How is Functional Medicine Different?

To focus on prevention through nutrition, diet, and exercise; use of the latest laboratory testing and other diagnostic techniques; and prescribed basically therapeutic diets, detoxification programs, or stress-management techniques, sometimes with botanical medicines, supplements which there is scientific evidence of effectiveness and safety.

  The goal of therapy is to promote the body’s innate healing response, health, the prevention of illness, and find your purpose of life.

What is kinesiology?

Kinesiology is the study of human movements, performance, and function by applying the sciences of Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Physiology, Exercise Physiology, Anatomy, Biomechanics, Nutrition, and Neuroscience. It is a common core of Western and Eastern medicine. 

Kinesiology is systems of healing that use manual muscle bio-feedback to determine which stimuli stress the body and how that stress can be decreased and balancing posture, attitude and life energy for greater comfort, vitality and enjoyment of your life.
