Functional medicine is a patient-centered, science-based approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease. It’s based on the idea that a person’s health is a system of interconnected factors, and that the best way to treat a person is to consider their whole health picture.
Environmental medicine is a relatively new branch of medicine that explores how the environment interacts with the human body – especially the physical, mental, and emotional responses to environmental factors. Furthermore, Environmental Medicine uses a holistic, systems-wide based model to evaluate how various toxins, pollutants, chemicals, and microbes may be compromising the body.
