Beach Wellness - Your Path to Wellness & Beauty

Welcome to Beach Wellness, so many ask what Functional Medicine is:

 Functional Medicine is a personalized, patient-centered, science-based approach to healthcare that addresses the gaps in the conventional healthcare system. It empowers patients and practitioners to work together to identify and treat the root causes of illness, using a holistic lens that considers personal history, genes, diet, environment, and the social determinants of health. By understanding the full picture, functional medicine helps restore health and well-being. 

Functional Medicine is a personalized, patient-centered, science-based approach to healthcare. It empowers patients and practitioners to collaboratively identify why illness occurs and address those root causes to restore health holistically.

This model considers a wide range of factors, including the patient’s history, genes, diet, and environment, as well as the social determinants of health. These factors not only contribute to illness but also hold keys to restoring health.

Functional medicine offers a wellness-based, patient-centered model of care that addresses the gaps in the healthcare system both efficiently and cost-effectively.

By taking a holistic view, functional medicine identifies the many interconnected factors influencing patient health and tailors a treatment plan to target the problem areas. This often includes lifestyle interventions like therapeutic food plans, movement practices, and stress management techniques, all aimed at cultivating optimal well-being.

In short, while conventional medicine tends to react to symptoms by prescribing drugs, functional medicine works proactively to resolve illness at its source and foster optimal long-term health.
