Health treated in a deeper and more complete way
How is the approach of Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a medical practice that aims to find the origin of problems, illnesses or disorders that a person presents, seeking to re-establish and respect the cellular function, organs and systems. It goes beyond the condition itself, seeking to find the interrelationships of the different biological systems affected in order to eliminate, or at least control, what causes it.
more human relationships
No iti You are interviewed to understand your needs, desires and goals as an individual. Our doctors ask about things that are often ignored in conventional consultations and that are extremely important in understanding and evaluating your health as a whole.
Our approach is much more humane. A close relationship is cultivated between you as the protagonist and the doctor, in the search for your health and quality of life.

Going beyond the fractional view of health
The traditional focus of conventional medicine is to treat the disease and its symptoms. The aim is to rebalance the patient's health, but what led to this imbalance is not always considered. The functional view of Medicine seeks to overcome this gap.
Every disease, disorder, or health condition that a person develops has a likely origin in dysfunction. This is why the functional view of Medicine goes beyond requesting basic exams to analyze the person's organism in a fractional way. This diagnostic approach also considers the correlation between biological systems to be important, when the physician makes an assessment interpreting other aspects, such as the person's lifestyle, habits and behaviors. Thus, if it is not corrected, conventional treatments can offer momentary relief, but there is a risk of recurrence. That's why the vision functional da Medicine is so important.
Functional or Conventional Medicine. What is the difference?
The functional medicine approach in practice
The functional view of medicine seeks to eliminate or control a disease by rebalancing a person's health. It aims to identify the dysfunction that led to a specific health problem, seeking the origin of the evils so that the treatment is more complete, eliminating these initial causes.
The medical approach may involve a complete scan not only of that person's organic conditions, but also of their routine, the amount of stress they are subjected to, possible events in their life that may have led to a psychosomatic condition.
These are very subtle factors that relate to other aspects of the human being, often emotional and psychological, which are not addressed by conventional medicine. In the Functional view of Medicine, this is extremely important because it can lead to a series of imbalances that can trigger various diseases.
Thus, the treatment seeks measures to re-establish the functions that that cause has altered, unbalancing the person's health. There are often several factors that are associated and cause the disease, therefore, this investigation of the base is essential.

Functional and Conventional Medicine that complement each other
Partnership that works
Potentially broader results
Functional Medicine is not superior to conventional medicine nor vice versa.
The approach of the two practices complement each other.
An ongoing disease that is already triggering several other problems for the individual needs immediate intervention, offered by conventional medicine. However, it is convenient to go further to understand what is behind this picture, then, the Functional view of Medicine springs into action seeking to understand what is causing shocks to a person's health to promote the restoration of their organic functions. By understanding the origin of these problems, she can suggest more efficient preventive measures to prevent this situation from happening more than once, or that other problems will manifest in the future.
Complemented by the techniques and practices of the conventional view of Medicine, we can achieve potentially broader results because we are also going to adjust the individual's habits according to their health needs in their broadest definition, which is not just the absence of the disease, but the balance between all aspects that make up the human being.
