What is functional medicine?

Tammara’s focus at the Center for Health & Wellness is the prevention of disease and healing with a patient centered approach to healthcare (Functional Medicine). The Center for Health and Wellness believes that optimal health and wellness is the cornerstone to longevity, and identifying the underlying causes of disease by focusing on the whole person is key in getting, and keeping, patients healthy and happy.

Functional Medicine defined is: "a patient-centered approach that addresses the underlying cause of diseases". With this approach, both the patient and the practitioner are in a therapeutic partnership. When patients are part of this therapeutic team, they become more empowered to take ownership of their own well-being and healing.

Functional Medicine is a type of healthcare that is respectful of, and responsive to, the individual preferences of the patient. Practitioners spend more time with their patients to learn about their medical history and look at the interactions between genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term medical issues and chronic diseases. In doing this, the practitioner looks at the patient as a whole, not just a set of symptoms. Functional Medicine focuses on prevention and overall health promoting lifestyle change and sustainable treatments that address the underlying cause of dysfunction thus restoring patients to optimal health.


The primary difference between conventional medicine and functional medicine is that the focus of care is driven by wellness. The goal of conventional medicine is to identify diseases by recognizing patterns of symptoms and treating them with drug-based therapies, while the goal of functional medicine is to promote health and vitality in each patient. Functional medicine is designed to treat the patient by identifying the underlaying cause of the disease and then personalize a treatment protocol for each individual patient.

We have constantly seen an increase in the cost of Tennessee health insurance premiums. There are still ways that can help decrease your out-of-pocket expenses for health care.

What Is A Facelift? Facelifts surgically reposition sagging muscles, fat and tissue along with re-draping skin and reduction of excess skin of the face, jawline and neck to produce a more youthful appearance. A facelift is facial rejuvenation surgery that goes beyond just tightening skin.

Any medical condition that requires a certain kind of medicine should be given attention. We cannot just shrug off this problem because this might lead into a serious health problem. It would be better to prevent a small problem from becoming a big one so that we will be able to solve it as soon as possible. By the way, I am hoping that more articles like this will be written. It's very informative and I totally got knowledge from it!

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!

Thank you for clarifying that functional medicine practitioners spend more time with their patients learning about their medical history and investigating the interplay of environmental, genetic, and lifestyle variables that may affect long-term medical difficulties and chronic illnesses. My grandfather claimed to be ill and experiencing physical discomfort, but it's unclear why. I'll take him to the functional medicine clinic so that he may get treated.
