Functional Medicine Q & A
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine focuses on the patient. This approach considers you as a whole person, rather than an assortment of symptoms. With functional medicine, you, Dr. Sidhu, and the team at House of Healing work together to evaluate your overall health. Together, you then address your condition with integrative therapies to encourage your body to heal itself.
You can expect to spend more time with a functional health care provider like Dr. Sidhu than you might usually spend with a doctor. You’ll also have time to ask questions. Dr. Sidhu spends time with you to educate you about your body and your health. Her goal is to empower you to make the best health choices for a long, rewarding life.
What does functional medicine address?
As an integrative, holistic approach to health care, functional medicine may prove beneficial with many health conditions. This includes:
- Metabolic dysfunction
- Neurological disorders
- Autoimmune conditions
At House of Healing, Dr. Sidhu incorporates elements of functional medicine in your treatment plan as appropriate.
What happens during functional medicine?
Functional medicine generally includes comprehensive testing to identify underlying factors that affect your health. This includes:
- Nutritional deficits
- Inflammation
- Hormonal imbalances
Once Dr. Sidhu identifies the root cause of your symptoms, she recommends targeted lifestyle changes and a combination of integrative treatments to heal your body, improve your wellness, and address any signs of poor health. These steps are designed to address the source of your health issue — not just mask the symptoms with medications.
What is my role in functional medicine?
You can expect to be a partner in your health journey with functional medicine. To gain the most from your therapy, make sure to follow through with Dr. Sidhu's recommendations.
For example, your diet has a significant impact on your health and wellness. If Dr. Sidhu suggests some changes, whether it’s dietary changes or getting regular exercise, then making those changes can improve your overall health. In this way, you take an active role in improving the way you feel.
