What is Functional Medicine?
|
Function Medicine is a holistic approach to primary care that looks at addressing the root causes of diseases and uses evidence-based natural interventions when appropriate. This holistic approach addresses all nodes of health simultaneously: gut health, inflammation, genetics, hormone balance, toxin exposure and detoxification, stress management, lifestyle optimization (sleep, food, exercise), and mitochondrial function for energy. In addition to this, attention is paid to the mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of each patient. The Functional Medicine approach brings into consideration that health and wellness are not simply the absence of disease. There is a great emphasis on establishing joy, resiliency, purpose, and peace in patient’s lives despite their personal health struggles.

- Initial 1.5 hour consultation with Dr Botros. This appointment is geared towards organizing your entire medical history on a timeline.

This is done by tracking your food intake with the "Cronometer" app. This will help us understand the exact macronutrient and micronutrient content of the food your eating over a typical week. This allows us to make specific recommendations to ensure you are reaching your nutrition goals.

Some will need more nutrition support for example, while others will need more mental health, sleep, accountability, logistical, or medical liaison support. The Health Coach is like your personal health concierge, and the way in which she interacts with each patient is versatile and individualized. Alyssa is your #1 advocate. She will get Dr Botros involved as needed to make adjustments to the plan to ensure you continue to improve on your healing journey.
