Functional medicine and integrative psychiatry use a combination of comprehensive medical history, advanced laboratory testing, and in-depth patient interviews to understand the underlying factors contributing to health problems. This approach helps in creating personalized treatment plans.

Functional medicine and integrative psychiatry can be applied to a wide range of chronic conditions, including ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, metabolic disorders, and more. It is particularly effective for conditions where conventional medicine may fall short in providing long-term solutions.

Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on treating symptoms, functional medicine/integrative psychiatry aims to identify and address the root causes of health issues. It involves a more holistic and individualized approach, integrating both traditional and alternative therapies.

Nutrition is a fundamental aspect of functional medicine and integrative psychiatry. Practitioners often emphasize the importance of a whole-foods-based diet tailored to an individual's specific needs. Nutritional support is seen as a crucial component in restoring balance and promoting overall well-being.

Functional medicine and integrative psychiatry draw on both traditional medical knowledge and emerging research. While it may incorporate alternative therapies, the approach is rooted in scientific evidence. Practitioners stay updated on the latest research to provide the best possible care.

The timeline for results varies depending on the individual and the nature of their health concerns. Some patients may experience improvement relatively quickly, while others may require more time for significant changes. Functional medicine and integrative psychiatry is often considered a long-term, preventative approach.
