113: Functional Health
20/08/2020 Duración: 45minWe discuss the importance of functional medicine as a model for healthcare. We compare and contrast differences between conventional medicine and functional medicine.

This “why” approach allows functional medicine doctors to get to the root cause of an issue rather than simply masking symptoms with medications. Conventional medicine is a disease-centered, generalized approach to healthcare, while Functional medicine is a patient-centered personalized approach to healthcare.
