Functional vs Conventional Medicine

Focuses on treating each individual and not the disease. Treatments are completely bespoke based on individual needs.

Educates you about your health and wellbeing whilst simultaneously encouraging you to play an active part in your treatment and planning.

Aims to restore optimum function of each person, thus helping to prevent and reverse disease whilst improving quality of life.

True science is observational and leads us to the answer. The research used is taken from a huge pool including Medicine, Physiology Biology, Nature, Quantum Physics, Nutrition, Microbiology, Immunology, Genetics, and Epigenetics.

Focuses on finding and addressing the underlying cause of the problem. This leads to a complete state of Health and Wellbeing and rebalancing the body.

Recognises that everything within a person is completely interconnected and no part can be separated from it’s effect on any other

As treatments are aiming to restore a nutrient that is lacking or balance a dysfunction side effects are only ever mild or absent. Often symptoms not complained of prior to treatment also resolve. 

Aims to prevent or reverse disease by recognising a dysfunction before it becomes a recognised disease and bringing the body back in to balance.

People with the same disease get the same treatment and each persons individuality and needs are not taken into account.

Generally a hierarchy exists where the Doctor has all of the knowledge and power without the time to explain so the patient asks no questions 

Designed to prevent death and serious disease but is not focussed on returning each person to a true state of health and wellbeing.

Approaches research from a position of bias. Pharmaceutical companies conduct the majority of the research with an aim to find out what pharmacological agents work against a particular disease.

Focusses on symptom and or disease management without finding what is truly casing the problem. Symptoms are often masked but the disease process often continues underneath.

Treats the body as being disconnected into its individual parts that do not effect each other. I.e a cardiologist for the heart; a neurologist for the nerves etc…

As treatments are masking symptoms they can often place extra load elsewhere in the body. People often start having to take multiple medications to mask the unwanted side effects from their primary treatment. 

You might have multiple symptoms and dysfunctions but without a disease diagnosis you can’t be offered treatment. Once things get bad enough for you to be diagnosed you can then receive treatment for that disease.
