Understanding Functional Medicine

Functional medicine differs from traditional medicine by focusing on optimal health rather than average health. It challenges the reliance on basic lab tests, which often miss crucial health insights, particularly for individuals experiencing symptoms such as brain fog or fatigue. Patients often face medical gaslighting when symptoms are dismissed as 'common,' leading them to overlook their true health status. By exploring narrower ranges within usual lab results, functional medicine aims to pinpoint where vibrant wellness resides, helping individuals understand their unique health needs.
