Health Coaching With Dr. June Tibaleka

What is functional medicine and how is it different?

Functional Medicine is a holistic approach to health care. It focuses on getting to the root causes of a health issue and working to gain a deeper understanding of the role that genetics, epigenetics, nutrition, and the environment (including trauma) have played in one’s health status. Functional Medicine differs from conventional Western or allopathic medicine by not just treating symptoms, but by uncovering the causes and addressing them individually so that optimum health can be achieved.

Functional Medicine recognizes that a disease or diagnosis may have many contributing causes. Additionally, the paradigm of Functional Medicine also acknowledges that many factors may play a role in the manifestation of one disease. As such, Functional Medicine aims to explore and address the root causes of ailments and works with you to tackle the issues so that you can live a fuller healthier life.
