Functional medicine aims to understand and determine why and how diseases and disorders occur and to provide holistic healing by addressing the root cause of diseases in an individual-specific manner. Functional medicine, which is essentially concerned with the management of chronic diseases, has a patient-centered approach. Individuals with impaired health are evaluated in terms of how the disease process begins, what triggers it, their nutrition, lifestyle and social relationships. It is often referred to as preventive and protective treatment.
In this field of medicine, knowing the medical history of patients is the most important step. It continues with the research into individuals’ daily habits, stress levels, toxins, allergens, genetics and microbiomes in their bodies. Autoimmune diseases such as Psoriasis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Type 1 Diabetes; Intestinal Diseases such as Ulcerative Colitis, Chron, Gastritis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome; Metabolic diseases such as Insulin Resistance, Type 2 Diabetes, Fibromyalgia; depression; Dermatological diseases such as acne and eczema are among the areas of interest of functional medicine.
