The Institute of Functional Medicine describes the Functional Medicine Model as “an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness.”
The goal with Functional Medicine is to uncover the root cause of symptoms and disease rather than just managing them so true healing can take place.
We love to prescribe lifestyle medicine whenever possible including dietary changes, sleep recommendations, exercise regimens, stress-reducing activities, and supplements when appropriate.
At STAT Wellness, we very much believe in allopathic medicine and we will prescribe pharmaceuticals (medication) as needed.
