Functional Medicine

The underlying foundation of Functional Medicine is to approach each person as an individual with their own genetics, environment, and lifestyle. No one person is the same and although many of us have similar symptoms (ie: pain, weight gain, diabetes), the way we arrived here may differ and the approach back to health is individualized.

Dr Bean’s approach to your health is personalized, root-cause centered, integrative, and is directed in partnership with each person.

Improved Chronic Disease Management:

By addressing the root causes of chronic diseases, functional medicine can often manage or even reverse conditions such as diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and heart disease more effectively than traditional approaches.

1. Personalized Treatment Plans: Because treatments are tailored to the individual, patients often experience more effective and efficient care.

2. Prevention and Wellness: Functional medicine emphasizes preventive care and the promotion of overall wellness, aiming to prevent disease before it starts.

3. Comprehensive Health Improvement: This approach can lead to improvements in multiple aspects of health, including physical, mental, and emotional well-being.

4. Patient Empowerment: By involving patients in their own care, functional medicine helps them make informed decisions about their health, leading to better adherence to treatment plans and healthier lifestyle choices.

5. Reduced Healthcare Costs: Although it may require more upfront investment in terms of time and resources, the focus on prevention and root cause resolution can lead to fewer medical interventions, hospitalizations, and medications in the long term, potentially reducing overall healthcare costs.
