What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a new term given to the discipline that seeks to find Root Cause for the disruption of ‘normal’ into ‘disorder’ in individuals. In finding the Root Cause, it seeks to blend all available modalities of science, sociology, and biochemistry to produce a better outcome for each individual.

The search for the Root Cause delves into all aspects of the individual and the environment in which it lives, lived (as an embryo and neonate), and experienced as a gamete (egg or sperm) in its parents and through its heritage.

By definition then, it is the practice of medicine that considers ‘everything’. Not the kind of medicine that can be delivered in a standard consult!

This site will deliver my blogs about my experiences as a General Practitioner and my journey to find a better way to cope with the ever-increasing burden of disease that we as individuals and as a population are experiencing.
