Functional Health
You are unique. So is your genetic make-up, your medical history, and your lifestyle. Your medical care should be just as unique as you are.
What is
Functional Health?
Functional health and nutrition addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. It is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the health care needs of the 21st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, functional medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.
Functional health provider Dr. Jayde spends time with her patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long term health and chronic disease. In this way, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.
