Today people want to seek health care that compliments with their own lifestyle and values. Many people are turning to complimentary medicine because they feel listened to, cared for, and are treated as a whole person. Functional Diagnostic Medicine looks at how you are "doing" and "feeling." You won't be told It's all in your head.Functional Diagnostic Medicine is interested in you, your life, your well-being, what you eat, your work environment, your relationships and communication with others, how you relax and play, your hobbies, what medications you have taken, how well your digestive system functions, and what chemicals you have been exposed to. Your total lifestyle helps create a picture by understanding who you really are and hearing about your life, significant clues and information can be found to really help you feel better. You can change the way you feel! Rather than naming a specific disease, Functional Diagnostic Medicine looks to find the underlying causes. This functional approach takes you and your lifestyle into the practice of health care. It looks at you in the context of your life and choices. Your treatment program will reflect your needs.
Who can benefit from this approach?
Many people today have health problems that don't fit into simple categories. Often people have complex health problems involving inflammatory responses, immune, nervous, digestive, energy, and/or cardiovascular systems. These people are best helped by a functional approach.

Better health now
Most people have a reoccurring health problem that can be alleviated or corrected through Functional Diagnostic Medicine. Many of you just learn to live with a variety of small to large health problems and to limit your lives accordingly. Often people with irritable bowel syndrome stay home because they are unsure of their bowels. Many women with migraines don't schedule anything during certain parts of their menstrual cycle. And people with arthritis just give up moving in certain ways or doing certain things because they can't. We have been told to just accept their limitations. Health care providers working with Functional Diagnostic Medicine are realistic about the possible limitations, but optimistic about helping you get well again.
Increased life and health span
The goal isn't necessarily for you to live longer, although you just might. Many people experience a decline in health for the last several decades. Yet every one knows people who lived happy and healthy until the last few months or year of life and the quietly passed of "old age." The goal of Functional Diagnostic Medicine is to improve overall health throughout life and especially into the "Golden Years" of old age. A recent study from the University of California at Stanford showed that people who began paying attention to preventive health care in mid-life,stopped smoking, exercised, and made dietary changes, had fewer hospitalizations, surgeries, took fewer medications, and lived longer than people who didn't. Isn't that what you want and expect from your health care provider?
