Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine is integrated into everything we do here at Salt Lake Naturopathic Clinic. Functional medicine means searching for and addressing the underlying cause of dis-ease (even if you don’t have a “disease”). It means optimizing health so that all of your body systems are working together to support your overall health. It has always been part of the philosophy of naturopathic medicine to treat the cause – Tolle causam.

What does functional medicine involve? It may involve un-conventional diagnostic testing. It might involve looking deeper into conventional tests that appear “normal” according to your doctor, but aren’t optimal for you.

Functional medicine does not involve simply finding the drug that matches your disease.

When your conventional doctor tells you that all the tests are normal, functional medicine may have the answer.
