Caroline Wheeler Functional Medicine Professional

Functional medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease. The following are the core principles of functional medicine:

Patient-Centered:

Functional medicine prioritizes the patient’s needs, goals, and values, rather than just focusing on the disease or symptoms.

Interconnectedness:

All bodily systems are interconnected, and functional medicine recognizes that dysfunction in one area can have far-reaching effects on overall health.

Individuality:

Each person’s body is unique, with distinct genetic and environmental factors that influence their health and wellness. Functional medicine recognizes this individuality and tailors treatment plans accordingly.

Balance:

The body is seen as a dynamic system that is constantly interacting with its environment. Functional medicine aims to find a balance between the body’s internal processes and external factors.

Prevention:

Functional medicine emphasizes prevention and early intervention, rather than just treating symptoms or disease.

Education:

Functional medicine practitioners believe that patients should be educated about their health and wellness, and empowered to take an active role in their care.

These principles guide me in my approach to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. By understanding the unique needs and circumstances of each patient, I can develop personalized treatment plans that address the root causes of illness and promote optimal health and wellness.
