Difference Between Conventional and Functional Medicine
While conventional medicine focuses on suppressing the symptoms of a medical condition, FM discovers and addresses its underlying causes.
Unlike conventional medicine, it addresses the patient as a whole – not as an isolated set of systems and symptoms. FM looks at both external (environmental) and internal (lifestyle) factors to determine the best course of patient care.
