Concept

Functional medicine

A model of care that focuses on identifying underlying causes of symptoms through detailed testing rather than treating symptoms alone.

Functional medicine is an approach that frames health around identifying root causes, often using extensive lab testing and lifestyle interventions. It overlaps heavily with longevity clinics. It is a practice model rather than a single treatment, and the evidence base varies by intervention.
