What is Functional Medicine

My interpretation of the field. I recently completed the certified functional medicine practitioner program at FMU and thought it would be a good time to share some insights. At its best, it is just doing an extra good job at "normal medicine", ordering extra tests and looking at all of the patients symptoms and trying to address the root cause or causes. The field does seem to attract practitioners who easily fall for pseudoscience treatments/reasoning so caution is required.
