Functional Medicine

Functional medicine is part of a medical approach aimed at identifying and managing physiological imbalances that cause symptoms.

It analyzes the interactions between hormonal, metabolic, digestive, immune and neurological systems in order to understand the mechanisms involved in the disorders presented.

Approach

Each consultation is based on:

• a thorough history
• a clinical examination
• additional exams if necessary
• the development of a personalized care plan

Functional imbalances can manifest in different symptoms, including:

• Persistent fatigue
• Digestive disorders (bloating, reflux, constipation, diarrhoea)
• Sleep disorders
• Stress, irritability
• Joint or muscle pain
• Recurrent inflammation
• Unexplained weight variations
• Headaches, migraines
• Concentration disorders
• Food intolerances

These symptoms may be related to hormonal, metabolic or immune imbalances.

The approach consists of identifying the factors that may contribute to the disorders:

• Chronic stress
• Microbiota imbalances
• Persistent inflammation
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Hormonal disorders (thyroid, estrogen, testosterone...)
• Exposure to endocrine disruptors
• Sleep disorders
• Metabolic disorders

The objective is to offer individualized medical care that allows:

• to improve the symptoms
• to correct certain biological anomalies
• to prevent the progression towards pathologies

Depending on the situation, this may include:

• adaptation of the diet
• correction of deficiencies
• support of digestive functions
• management of hormonal imbalances
• hygienic-dietary recommendations
• advice on sleep and stress management
