Dr. Scott Jacobson MD is a Family Doctor who specializes in Functional Medicine and Ren Jacobson is a Certified Functional Medicine Health Coach. Together we offer a unique program to help clients with chronic illness that a traditional Western approach alone may not be able to identify the root cause.
Our society is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of people who suffer from complex, chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, and autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis.
The typical Western approach to medicine, practiced by most physicians, is oriented toward acute care, the diagnosis and treatment of trauma or illness that is usually of short duration and in need of urgent care, for example a broken bone or a migraine. Physicians apply specific, prescribed treatments such as drugs or surgery that aim to treat the immediate problem or symptom.
What the acute-care approach to medicine lacks is the proper methodology and tools for preventing and treating complex, chronic disease.
In most cases Western medicine does not take into account the unique genetic makeup of each individual or factors such as environmental exposures to toxins and the aspects of today’s lifestyle that have a direct influence on the rise in chronic disease in modern Western society.
Most physicians are not adequately trained to assess the underlying causes of complex, chronic disease and to apply strategies such as nutrition, diet, and exercise to both treat and prevent these illnesses in their patients.
