What is a functional medicine assessment?

Our team of functional medicine doctors work out of our Gainesville, Florida, office. As concierge physicians, we treat the “whole person” and look to the root causes of health issues. It’s both a new and ancient way of looking at medicine. We’re excited to offer it, and hope you’re interested enough to book a free consultation with a functional doctor in our Gainesville, Florida, office.

A functional medicine assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that looks at the underlying causes of your health concerns. This approach focuses on identifying and addressing the root issues that may be contributing to your symptoms, rather than just treating the symptoms themselves.

During the assessment, your practitioner will take a detailed look at your medical history, lifestyle factors, and any current symptoms or concerns. They may order specialized lab tests to gain a deeper understanding of your biochemical and physiological processes. By taking this holistic view, your practitioner can develop a personalized plan to support your body’s natural healing abilities and help you achieve optimal health and wellness.

More on Functional Medicine –

Functional medicine is an approach to health that looks at the root cause of illness instead of just treating symptoms. Instead of asking “What drug for what disease?”, it asks “Why is this happening in the first place?” Functional medicine physicians use advanced lab tests and take time to understand a patient’s full health history, including lifestyle, diet, stress, and environment. The goal is to support the body’s natural healing process using personalized treatments like nutrition, supplements, hormone balance, and natural therapies. Functional medicine is care for the whole person. Reach out for a free consultation, today.
