Functional Health

🌿 What Is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a patient-centered, holistic approach to healthcare that emphasizes identifying and addressing the root causes of disease rather than merely treating symptoms. By viewing the body as an interconnected system—including genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, and environment—functional medicine aims to restore long-term wellness and optimal function for each individual .

🧠 How Does It Work at Healthy Vida Clinic?

1. Deep-Dive Listening & Discovery We begin by understanding your complete health history, daily habits, environment, and emotional well‑being. This thorough intake helps uncover factors contributing to illness—like stress, nutrient imbalances, toxin exposure, or genetic predisposition.

2. Personalized Testing & Analysis Using lab results and advanced diagnostics, we map out your body’s internal systems and how they may be out of balance.

3. Collaborative Care Planning Working together, we design a tailored care plan addressing your specific needs, such as modifying diet, movement, sleep, stress, supplements, medications, and possible detox strategies.

4. Ongoing Support & Adjustment Your progress is closely monitored over time, with adjustments made based on data and how your body responds.
