How Functional Medicine Differs From Western Medicine? And, where does medical intuition fit in?

In celebration of the completion of my functional medicine training, I wanted to bring you an in-depth examination of the difference between functional medicine and allopathic medicine.

I also wanted to illustrate how medical intuition & energy medicine can be complementary to your healthcare approach.

Today I cover the 5 tenents of functional medicine…

• • Functional Medicine views us all as being different; genetically and biochemically unique. This personalized health care treats the individual, not the disease. It supports the normal healing mechanisms of the body, naturally, rather than attacking disease directly.

  • Functional Medicine is deeply science-based. The latest research shows us that what happens within us is connected in a complicated network or web of relationships. Understanding those relationships allows us to see deep into the functioning of the body.

  • Your body is intelligent and has the capacity for self-regulation, which expresses itself through a dynamic balance of all your body systems.

  • Your body has the ability to heal and prevent nearly all the diseases of aging.

  • Health is not just the absence of disease, but a state of immense vitality.

I also talked about the difference between healing and a cure.

And finally, I gave a brief intro to medical intuition.
