Functional Medicine practitioners utilize several frameworks to help identify which bodily processes are affected. These processes include:
- how your body rids itself of toxins
- regulation of hormones and neurotransmitters
- immune system function
- inflammatory responses
- digestion and absorption of nutrients and the health of the digestive tract
- structural integrity
- psychological and spiritual equilibrium
- how you produce energy
Any disruption in these bodily processes can cause or accelerate symptoms and disease. Functional medicine practitioners work to bring the imbalanced bodily processes back to balance.
