What Exactly Is "Functional Medicine"?

Dr. Hannah Wolfe is functional medicine practitioner in Metamora, MI.

Functional medicine is an approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of your health problems, rather than just treating your symptoms. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach, functional medicine practitioners take a personalized approach, looking at your unique needs and health history.

During a functional medicine consultation with me, I will spend time with you, listening to your concerns and asking about your health history, lifestyle, and other factors that could be affecting your health. I may also order specialized tests to help identify underlying issues that could be contributing to your symptoms.

Once we have identified the root cause of your health problems, I will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include changes to your diet, lifestyle, and supplements, as well as other therapies that support your body's natural healing process.

Functional medicine can be a helpful approach for anyone looking to improve their overall health and wellbeing, as well as those with chronic conditions such as autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, and digestive issues. By addressing the underlying causes of your health problems, functional medicine can help you achieve better health outcomes and a higher quality of life.
