About Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine allows for an improved outcome, and successful results by the practitioner in response to your health goals, and in resolving chronic complaints.
Functional Medicine is a form of holistic practice that utilizes advanced forms of biochemical and nutritional testing. See some of the forms of testing we use here.
Take for example, "Research shows that obesity, BED (Binge Eating Disorder), and food addiction are driven by metabolic disruptions and gut-brain signaling problems, not a lack of willpower. An understanding of this biology opens new treatment avenues." --Dr. James Greenblatt
Functional Medicine as a practice provides you with improved results, superior communication, and effective information about your nutritional and genetic state.
The failure of natural medicine and nutrition fields to resolve underlying causes of nutritional symptoms, diseases, or conditions lies in the lack of definitive knowlege about what the specific cause is. More and more, we are seeing the need for further education of classically trained practitioners on using orthomolecular and functional medicine, and the focus on the biochemical individuality of the patient. Because each patient is a separate and unique entity, the cause of each disease or condition is unique to that person's bichemistry, and environment or stressors. Here, no condition is psychosomatic. All have their roots in measurable and testable biochemical causes that can be assessed and worked on.
Biochemical individuality is a tenet of functional medicine. No two people are the same; each patient much be approached with the potential for multiple measurable causes of deficient enzymes, vitamins, nutrients, and a surplus of toxins or overactive genes that could be influencing their symptoms, condition, behaviour or emotions.
The testing and results we obtain at Wild Lily Holistic Health allows us to begin to measure and pinpoint the precise cause of what is influencing your condition and symptoms, instead of just guesswork. In the past we have had to rely on consulting research that has applied to a number of individuals with the same condition for an educated guess.
We are looking for commited clients who are willing to pay more to have these answers, and make a significant investment in their health over time to see the results we have come to expect. Your best health is our top priority and we invite you to make it yours too. Be the best version of yourself by having your best health.
Become our ideal client today and be willing to book more than one session to achieve lasting results in your healthcare!
