What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a rapidly growing approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. This approach recognizes that the physical health of a person is interconnected with mental, emotional, spiritual, environmental and even lifestyle. Functional Medicine focuses on chronic health conditions such as digestive issues, autoimmune disorders, hormone imbalances, metabolic disorders and mental health conditions. Through specialized testing, very detailed history of the patient, family history, prior traumas, enviromental factors and nutritional analysis; Oxford Holistic Wellness can help get you started on your wellness journey.
Did you know Gastrointestional imbalances can play a major role in autoimmune disorders, weight gain, mental health such as anxiety / depression, chronic fatigue, nutritional deficiencies and even linked to some neurodegenerative issues? Did you know vitamin / mineral deficiencies can play a role in infertility, hair loss, fatigue, poor concentration, mental fog, and mood changes?
Does any of this sound familiar? We can help! Oxford Holistic Wellness can order very specialized testing to find causes not just treat symptoms. For example MRT testing can identify food sensitivities that contribute to chronic inflammation that you are probably completely unaware of because they do not present the same as food allergies. Food sensitivities can present as skin rashes, GI upset, chronic sinus issues, etc. Due to functional medicines in-depth and alternative approach, most insurances do not cover functional visits, testings or treatments. However, if you are ready to make some lifestyle changes and find the cause of your disease or symptoms, getting your body in balance to function more properly, Oxford Holistic Wellness will provide you the care you are seeking.
