Functional medicine addresses the root cause of disease in order to restore and maintain health. This individualized approach to health recognizes that everyone is different and that what works for some people might not work for others.
Using the functional medicine approach, extensive testing is done to analyze your genetics, microbiome, micronutrients, hormones and take an in depth personal history and creating a health plan for you and your body.
At Wishing Wellness our Functional medicine program includes:
- Patient-centered care: promoting overall health as positive, ongoing wellness. Optimal health is not just the absence of disease.
- An integrative, science-based healthcare approach: Dr. Scott Jacobson considers the complex interactions in a patient’s history, physiology, and lifestyle that can lead to illness. The unique genetic makeup of each patient is considered, along with both internal (mind, body and spirit) and external (physical, social and environmental) factors that affect the whole person.
- Integrating the best medical practices: Dr. Scott Jacobson is an MD as well as certified Functional Medicine Practitioner thought IFM. Functional medicine integrates traditional Western medicine with complementary medicine, creating a focus on balance and prevention. Nutrition, diet and exercise; use of the latest laboratory testing, supplements, therapeutic diets, detoxification programs and stress-management techniques are all tools of the functional medicine practitioner.
