Functional Medicine Naturopaths in 97402
While naturopathic doctors certainly recognize the importance of diagnosis, we are committed to looking beyond the label of a disease, and identifying its causal mechanisms. So, when it comes to mental or physical health, my goal is to treat the patient - not the just the DSM or the ICD10 code. This means engaging in a thorough and individualized assessment of the psychological, biochemical, and environmental factors that interact to produce emotional and bodily suffering. As the set of causes for each person's symptoms is unique, so must be the treatment.

Functional Medicine Naturopaths
What is functional medicine?
Functional medicine is an alternative model of healthcare that generally emphasizes a person-centered, rather than disease-centered, approach to health. It integrates conventional Western medical practices with more alternative approaches to health, emphasizing individualized services that take into account each individual's unique lifestyle, genetics, and medical history. The functional medicine model particularly emphasizes managing chronic conditions, especially for patients who haven't responded well to conventional medical treatments. Practitioners include licensed medical doctors (MDs), osteopathic physicians (DOs), naturopathic doctors (NDs), and registered dietitians (RDs), who treat various conditions including chronic diseases, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, hormonal dysfunction, and metabolic syndromes. However, patients should be aware that not all practitioners who practice functional medicine have licensure, and some modalities practiced by functional medicine providers are not supported by rigorous scientific research. Nevertheless, finding a functional medicine practitioner can be transformative for many clients who seek a more integrated approach to medicine that includes lifestyle modifications, nutrition, and stress management.
