FAQ

What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a “systems biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease”. If you’d like to learn more about Functional Medicine please visit www.ifm.org.
What is Integrative Medicine?
“Integrative Medicine, as defined by the American Board of Integrative Medicine® (ABOIM) and the Consortium of Academic Health Centers for Integrative Medicine, is the practice of medicine that reaffirms the importance of the relationship between practitioner and patient, focuses on the whole person, is informed by evidence, and makes use of all appropriate therapeutic approaches, healthcare professionals, and disciplines to achieve optimal health and healing.” If you would like to learn more about Integrative Medicine please visit the Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine (AIHM) www.aihm.org
How do I find a Functional Medicine Practitioner?
I highly recommend checking out the IFM “Find a Practitioner” search to find an IFM Certified Practitioner (IFMCP).
