What is Functional Medicine? Real Solutions for Real Problems
- Have you ever wondered why you have acid reflux, why you’re always tired, why you have neuropathy, or why you have chronically high blood pressure?
- Have you ever been told to take ongoing medications to mask symptoms?
- Have you ever asked your doctors why they can’t figure out the source of your health problems?
- Have you been told your symptoms are “all in your head” because inadequate testing came back as normal?
Far too often, patients’ concerns go unhelped by those in the medical community. When they need help the most, they fall through the cracks of the medical system. They are either left to fend for themselves as they suffer from various ailments or are given medications that typically don’t solve the problem and can lead to additional side effects.
Your body is wired to give you warning signals when something is off in your body. These warning signals are called symptoms and shouldn’t be ignored or written off by medical professionals.
At Restorative Health Solutions, we believe in the fundamentals of functional medicine which focuses on finding the root cause(s) of a patient’s ailments instead of merely using bandaids to cover up certain symptoms. Through functional medicine practices, we first seek to understand why you’re feeling the way you are and what the causes may be through accurate testing and health history assessments.
How our approach is different with individualized root cause care
The purpose of practicing functional medicine is to uncover, address, and remedy the root cause of your symptoms in the most gentle way possible.
No two people are exactly alike in their problems. Our bodies are unique in handling stress, infections, foods, and other potential triggers. Just because you have the same condition as another person doesn’t mean their recommended health plan will be effective for you.
This is why we don’t take a cookie-cutter approach toward helping our patients. Our “Test, Don’t Guess” approach gives you the best chance of more accurate answers and hope for everyone who walks through our doors.
When you come to our clinic, we will focus on answering the following questions:
- What problems need to be removed that are negatively affecting your body, breaking your body down, and creating inflammation? Inflammation is the root of all kinds of diseases, and we must identify the potential causes, remove them from your body or environment, support your immune system’s natural abilities to ward off intruders and help your body repair.
The most common causes of inflammation typically fall into one of four categories: food, microbial imbalance/infections, toxicity, and stress. At a more specific level, these areas can include issues such as food allergies, food sensitivities, infections, imbalance of the microbiome, toxicity from mold exposure, heavy metals, insecticides/pesticides/herbicides, stress, etc.
- What helpful, good things does your body need more of to rebuild, repair, and recover? Nutritional deficiencies, a lack of beneficial flora, hormonal deficiencies/imbalances, and more can cause your body to break down and have a difficult time with the healing, recovery, and repair process. Through testing, we can see what your body needs more or less of and help return your body to a more balanced state.
