The ADAPT Functional Medicine Difference

Patients seeking Functional Medicine practitioners are often looking for a health partner that offers a different approach to care, one that addresses the root cause of an illness instead of relying on drugs and surgeries to suppress symptoms. They help correct the mismatch between our bodies and our environment by dealing with the underlying cause of health issues and treating each patient as a whole, unique individual.

A 2-year study from the Cleveland Clinic found that Functional Medicine care is associated with improved health-related quality of life compared to that in a primary care setting. Not only beneficial but sustained improvements in global physical health scoring were seen.

An A-CFMP has been trained to approach chronic illness in a way that works to prevent and reverse disease versus just managing it. Through extensive training and collaboration, they can implement the highest level of care for clients.
