What is Functional Medicine?
Dr. Ingrid Practices Functional Medicine
Unlike Conventional Medicine, which treats disease once it has taken root in your body, Functional Medicine is a biology-based system that focuses on identifying the root causes of disease in an individual.
A person's health is based on many factors with one symptom or many contributing to the individuals illness. Functional Medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health through an individualized, patient centered approach based on the patient's genetic, lifestyle, and biochemical makeup. Rather than treating the existing symptom with a pill to alleviate that symptom.
Functional Medicine identifies what is the cause and addresses the cause of disease in an individual through a comprehensive manner.

Identifying Signs & Symptoms
We work together with a patient to ascertain personal, family, social and medical history to identify factors that provoke. predispose or contribute to the patient's illnesses, symptoms or dysfunctions.
