Functional and nutritional medicine are proactive holistic approaches to health and wellness.
Functional medicine is a more patient-centered approach to medical care. Instead of focusing on a patient’s disease or symptoms, functional medicine practitioners aim to find the root cause of the disease or symptoms.
Then, using a system-oriented approach, functional medicine practitioners work in partnership with their patients, helping them make better lifestyle choices that lead to better health.
Many patients are stuck in the traditional medicine practice where the first, second, and only options are pharmaceutical drugs. Functional medicine isn’t against traditional medical therapies, but it first seeks to understand the core contributors to the problem.
Then, they develop strategies that address the problem or condition from multiple angles.
Nutritional medicine is a major part of functional medicine. All of your choices, including the types of food you eat, affect your body.
With nutritional medicine, The Lamkin Clinic teaches you how food and nutrients influence your health and how to create changes to your diet so your body can function at its best.
The Lamkin Clinic takes a patient-centered approach to care, and the specifics of your functional and nutritional medicine consultation depend on your health needs and goals. However, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation that investigates all of the factors that affect your health and well-being.
