the Functional Medicine approach
Functional medicine involves understanding the origins, prevention, and treatment of complex and chronic disease. Hallmarks of the Functional medicine approach includes patient-centered care, promoting health as a positive vitality beyond just the absence of disease.
Functional medicine practitioners look "upstream" to consider the complex web of interactions in the patient's history, physiology, and lifestyle that can lead to illness. The unique genetic makeup is considered along with the internal (mind, body and spirit) and the external (physical and social environment) factors that can affect optimal health.
Functional medicine integrates traditional Western medicine with "alternative" or "integrative" medicine, creating a focus of prevention through nutrition and diet, exercise and stress management. Essentially, by shifting the traditional disease centered focus of medical practice to a more patient centered approach, functional medicine is able to address the whole person and not just a set of symptoms.
4 Seasons Wellness will include Functional Medicine assessment and consults on Integrative Nutrition Counseling, Personal Training, Osteopathic Manipulation Therapy, and Stress Management to include meditation and tapping.
