Functional Nutritional Diagnostic Medicine
Functional Nutritional Diagnostic Medicine detects imbalance's in a person's systems through the use of a symptom survey, physical exam and lab testing. A pattern emerges when the doctor looks at the results of testing.
Functional Nutritional Diagnostic Medicine guides the body back into balance through the use of appropriate herbal and nutritional support based on the test results.
The goal of functional medicine is to eliminate the offending imbalances so that the body will begin to heal itself.
The body adapts to what it comes into contact with in the environment. Some examples include diet, emotions, thoughts, sleep, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, etc. In this process many feedback loops that normally help the body maintain balance or homeostasis are inappropriately activated, broken or compromised.
Dr. Dickinson helps patients rebalance these symptoms so they work again on their own instead of maintaining the imbalance by changing the symptoms to other symptoms like in the traditional medical model.
We want health!
