Functional Medicine

Is the assessment of

• Nutritional deficiencies
  
• Vitamin and mineral imbalances
  
• Compromised organ systems
  
• Environmental concerns
  
• Toxin accumulation
  
• Environment
  
• Emotional – Physical connection
  
• Mind-body-spiritual connection
  

Functional Medicine is the understanding of

• Current eating habits and trends.
  
• Inherent psychological, biological and genetic factors that may play a role in current health conditions.
  
• Environmental toxins in and around the home, work place, school
  
• Family relationship, personal relationships, lifestyle, spiritual, mind-body connection
  
• Psychology of disease, emotional eating, and unresolved issues.
  

The body, mind and soul all play a vital role in your health and well being. The food you consume, as well as the lifestyle you lead impacts your overall state of health and sense of well being.

If you are under pressure, stress, or going through a difficult time in your life, your mind is not a rest. What the mind thinks is what the body manifests. You've tuned- out to your body's signals of dis-ease. You take pain relievers for those constant headaches and tensed shoulders; you drink more coffee to stay awake, sleep aids to sleep, and laxatives to finally go to the bathroom.

Your body is screaming and you are not listening!

Symptoms are signals your body sends out to alert you there is an imbalance.

• Headaches are the body's signals there may not be enough water to hydrate your organs properly.
  
• Shoulder and neck tension and pain may be related to food allergies.
  
• Constipation is telling you there is not enough water, possible hormonal imbalance and definitely not enough fibre in the diet.
  
• Pain in your knees may be your body's signal to eat more manganese- type foods, and to stop consuming inflammatory-type foods.
  

Functional Medicine is Prevention

It is counselling that will help you understand

• Healthy eating habits and triggered eating patterns
  
• How inherent psychological, biological and genetic factors may play a role in your current health conditions
  
• How food may be a trigger for health issues and concerns
  
• Environmental toxins in and around the home, work place, school, and how they may affect your health
  
• Family relationship, personal relationships, lifestyle, spiritual, mind-body connection
  
• Psychology of disease, emotional eating, and unresolved issues and how they may affect your health
  

Functional medicine is about addressing these issue to help you understand under lying issues that may be contributing to your present health concerns, how to correct them and prevent dis-ease.
