What Makes Functional Medicine So Effective At Curing Illnesses? Interview with Dr. Mark Hyman

FacebookTweetPinLinkedInEmail
December 4, 2013 by Adam Garfio

Functional medicine is medicine by cause, not by symptom. We need to reframe how we view disease and realize that everything is integrated in the body. By shifting away from the traditional disease-centered focus of healthcare to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine is more effective in finding a true cure. Traditional approaches tend to isolate sets of symptoms, but functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients to discover the overlooked factors that contribute to disease.

Dr. Mark Hyman, MD is dedicated to identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic illness through a groundbreaking whole-systems medicine approach called Functional Medicine. He is a family physician, a six-time New York Times bestselling author, and an international leader in his field. Through his private practice, education efforts, writing, research, and advocacy, he empowers others to stop managing symptoms and start treating the underlying causes of illness, thereby tackling our chronic-disease epidemic.

In this webisode, we talk to Dr. Mark Hyman, MD about the Institute for Functional Medicine and how it can help YOU! Watch it here.
