Functional Medicine (FxMed) gets to the root-cause of disease. Conventional treatments focus on controlling the symptoms, often with powerful drugs laden with side-effects, and the cause, or root, is ignored. By addressing the root-cause, functional medicine brings true healing and not just band-aid solutions. 

​

Conditions thought “untreatable” such as autoimmune diseases, migraines, fibromyalgia, ADHD and so many others can be dramatically improved through FxMed. The approach to treatment is not symptom focused but rather treats each patient as a whole, identifying causes of disease that conventional approaches ignore, such as rest, relationships, toxins, and imbalances at the cellular level. Only by performing deep-dives into each unique person’s condition do these factors present themselves. 

Conventional methods are focused on numbers rather than true, individualized care. In order to meet metrics and insurance billing requirements, doctors are left with only a few minutes with each patient. Insurance also limits what tests doctors can order, often not keeping up with the latest research. It is not anyone’s fault but simply a limitation of our current healthcare system.

At Back to Eden Functional Medicine, we have found that functional medicine is the best approach for treating the patient in front of us to bring them and their families the transformation they need to live their best lives.
