“Dr. Austin is a rare find among doctors in our current healthcare landscape. She exhibits exceptional expertise in modern treatments as well as a deeper understanding of the root causes of many of the issues that affect her patients. I have been Dr. Austin’s patient for two years. In that time, she has helped me navigate some incredibly stressful circumstances without losing sight of my health goals. She listens to her patients, provides clear explanations to questions, and teaches skills to help her patients make the best choices to continually improve and optimize health. She practices true Medicine 3.0, and inspires trust and confidence in the process.”
Unfortunately for patients, many factors that impact healthy living are often hidden, overlooked, or simply not included in the diagnosis and treatment of ongoing health issues.
WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?
Functional medicine is an approach to healthcare that looks beyond just treating symptoms and aims to uncover and address the underlying causes of health issues. It considers the connection and impact of various factors, including genetics, environment, and lifestyle, to create a more comprehensive understanding of a person's well-being.
In this approach, the focus is on treating the individual rather than the disease, emphasizing personalized interventions such as lifestyle changes, nutrition, and sometimes supplements.
Practitioners work collaboratively with patients to improve overall wellness and long-term health, using a combination of both evidence based alternative therapies and conventional medical approaches. It's a patient-centered method that aims to address health concerns at their root and enhance the quality of life.
