If the only doctor you've seen is a traditional medical doctor, you might be hesitant to try functional medicine. Here are seven common myths about functional medicine and the truth behind each one.
Frequently Asked Questions About Functional Medicine
Is there a downside to Functional Medicine?
Traditional medicine can apply a quick fix “bandaid” to help one’s symptoms feel better. However, this doesn’t get to the root cause of symptoms in most cases. Fixing the root cause of symptoms can take weeks to months and even longer in some cases.
Does Holistic Family Wellness accept insurance?
What is the difference between functional medicine and a traditional doctor?
Traditional medicine is disease-oriented, doctor-centered, and diagnosed on symptoms. Everyone is treated the same, and it works well with early disease detection.
How long does functional medicine take to work?
Can functional medicine help with weight loss?
What is the difference between naturopath and functional medicine?
Functional medicine providers obtain functional medical training after graduating from their medical training program.
Naturopathic medicine offers all that functional medicine training provides, plus extensive training in areas of herbal medicine, nutrition, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, and maybe physical manipulation.
Functional medicine providers will have prescriptive authority whereas, in most cases, NDs do not.
Does Holistic Family Wellness accept Medicare?
How does functional medicine help anxiety?
We understand that anxiety does not have as it’s only root cause an imbalance in the brain. Other processes in the body can contribute to anxiety. We take the time to investigate these root cause areas of the body.
Why do you prescribe so many supplements?
We offer a variety of testing so you get the answers you need.
What makes your initial appointment at Holistic Family Wellness unique from traditional medicine and other functional medicine clinics is the in-office testing we perform here.
Two crucial areas in the body that can be the nexus of root-cause symptoms are the gut and the adrenals. In the past, a patient would have to leave the first initial appointment with take-home test kits, collect samples at home, mail them off, wait three weeks for results, and return to our office for a follow-up to have those results read and interpreted.
These tests combined could cost more than $500.
Today, we do in-office testing and have focused answers, with a 10-minute test, on gut dysbiosis and the state of adrenals.
This gives us a focused, specific, individualized plan the patient can leave with on day one for their specific symptoms and needs.
This can save $500 or more on tests and put someone four weeks ahead working on their symptoms and improving their health while not having to wait on lengthy mail-in test results.
We also do a functional urine dip assessment, which can tell us if you are mineral or nutrient-deficient in certain areas and the state of your stomach and liver, among other things.
