FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
“We need to move beyond asking what drug will treat the symptoms, and instead ask what mechanism creates altered neurochemical or neurobiological function or systemic physiological change.” Jeffrey Bland, PhD, is the "father of Functional Medicine."
Functional medicine is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach practiced by Naturopathic Doctors as well as Doctors of Chiropractic, Medical Doctors, and Doctors of Osteopathy. Functional medicine is healthcare approach that addresses patients’ genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and is focused on producing a health care plan that fits your individual needs.
Dr. Luc Maes has studied Functional Medicine since the Institute for Functional Medicine was founded in 1991. On an as needed basis Dr. Luc Maes will utilize tests that evaluate the level of function and can provide valuable insights into your health status before standard laboratory tests.
