Functional Medicine is whole person health care
Functional medicine is a very personal way to approach medical care. It deals with finding the root cause of chronic disease rather than only treating symptoms with medications. Functional medicine believes how disease manifests in the body is dependent on an individual’s genes, environment, and lifestyle. Functional treatment plans focus on the person rather than the disease, and require a team approach between patient and physician to address underlying causes and prevention plans to promote optimal health.
The path to long-term well-being is deeply personal. For example, your genetics profile holds valuable information about your best approach to optimal diet, fitness and disease prevention. WellcomeMD uses the most advanced lab tests and focuses on lifestyle, stressors, and environmental exposures to avoid, treat or reverse health issues.
Our goal is preventative care, with personalized wellness plans for our members. Our physicians and their teams are committed to not only improving patients’ outcomes, but also improving their quality of life.
