"The functional medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.

 

By addressing root causes, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of disease. They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, functional medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual."

What to Expect with Dr Heather Banville and the Functional Medicine approach? We begin with a holistic detailed case history that goes beyond just medical information.  Our consultation will look holistically considering a timeline of past events, the  environment, lifestyle and triggering stressors. This detailed history will reveal what Functional Lab Testing may be indicated to further discover root causes. At the report of findings consultation we will address root causes with a plan of natural healing remedies, nutraceuticals, nutrition and lifestyle enhancements.
