6. End the cycle of trial and error: Functional medicine takes a personalized approach to healthcare, focusing on the individual's unique circumstances and underlying causes of their symptoms functional medicine takes a personalized approach to healthcare, focusing on the individual's unique circumstances and underlying causes of their symptoms. Based on this assessment, they develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses the underlying causes of the problem. This personalized approach can help to end the cycle of trial and error by addressing the root causes of the problem and providing targeted interventions to improve the patient's overall health. By focusing on prevention and addressing the underlying causes of illness, functional medicine practitioners aim to promote long-term health and wellness. This can lead to better health outcomes and a higher quality of life for patients.

In traditional medicine, on the other hand, patients may be given medications to address symptoms without addressing the underlying causes. This can lead to a cycle of trial and error, where patients are given different medications until one is found that works for them. However, this approach does not address the root causes of the problem and can lead to long-term side effects.

Why it is worth the investment

Functional Medicine is an out-of-pocket expense, as insurance companies are still in the business of sick-care, rather than prevention. But think about the time you have been suffering and seeing different specialists. Think about all the diets, elimination diets. supplements, medications you have been trying and spending money on. Think about the money you could make instead of being sick or feeling lousy. All of these would cost about 10x more than ending the cycle of trail and error.
