We are often asked how our functional medicine approach differs from other practices.  At Oregon Optimal Health we view and treat the body as a whole, and recognize that we are all unique individuals with a unique set of genetics and biochemistry, as well as a unique set of environmental and lifestyle factors.

More specifically, Functional Medicine is a medical approach that focuses on identifying the root causes of disease rather than treating just the symptoms. We seek to understand and treat the origins of  medical issues so that meaningful treatment and prevention methods can be developed and implemented. A functional medicine practice tends to rely less on synthetic drugs and more on the thorough investigation of you, our client.

Finally, the functional medicine approach is a partnership between the practitioner and you, our client. You are in charge. The goal of this partnership is to bring you,

our client, back to health as well as to teach you about the core foundational principles of living healthy and prevention of disease. 

For your health,

Jeanette, Anne and Holly
