Functional medicine doctors treat the patient and not the symptoms. They are not quick to listen to your symptoms and prescribe a medication for a quick fix. They listen to your medical history. They focus more on the root causes of your issues to get you back in working order or functioning better. They pay close attention to nutrition, stress, toxins, allergens, genetics and your microbiome.
