Did you know that Naturopathic Medicine is the Grandfather of Functional Medicine?  Functional Medicine has its roots firmly planted in the practice of NDs, and it’s philosophies stem from the Naturopathic Foundations.

What is Naturopathic/Functional Medicine?

” Functional & Naturopathic Medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual.

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.”
