Functional medicine is a personalized approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. It examines the interplay between genetics, environment, and lifestyle to understand and manage health issues.

While conventional medicine often focuses on treating symptoms with medications or procedures, functional medicine aims to uncover and treat the underlying causes of health problems. It emphasizes a holistic view, considering the whole person and their unique health history.
