What is functional medicine?
Live Long and Prosper is a growing “Natural Health Service” rolling out programmes on a huge range of health issues, all within an interactive Community and with ongoing supervision from Certified Functional Medicine Practitioners. You can also access 121 services if you need a little more help.
Functional Medicine is essentially a root cause, scientific, whole body approach to health in which we restore and maintain optimal health through understanding your chemistry and all of your body’s systems and processes, work out where they might not be working as efficiently as they should be, and why, and using natural interventions to resolve the problems. It is an approach centred on not just treating your symptoms but also equipping you with all the tools you need to maintain your best health into the future.
What do we use in functional medicine?
A functional medicine approach can include modest dietary and lifestyle changes, targeted supplements, evidence based herbal medicine and other natural interventions to help restore balance to the body's biochemistry.
By addressing the underlying cause of a patient's health issues, functional medicine aims to promote long-term health and wellness rather than simply managing symptoms with medication.
