In the ever-growing medical world, little has been known about Functional Medicine until recent years. This area of study is still relatively new, and with that being said, the power and proof of Functional Medicine continue to grow.
As a preeminent Functional Medicine practitioner, Dr. Khan continues to work with patients who are searching for a more naturalistic approach to healthcare. Dr. Khan believes that the human body has an innate ability to heal itself, and through Functional Medicine, he is able to help patients achieve this.
Now, new research has come from Dr. Khan’s fellow IFM-trained practitioner Cynthia Li, MD, that showcases just how effective Functional Medicine can be – and how Functional Medicine is paving the way for a new era of medicine.
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on the function of the human body systems rather than the structure. It is a more holistic approach to healthcare that looks at the whole person rather than just the symptoms.
Functional Medicine practitioners use a variety of techniques to help their patients achieve optimal health. With the right combination of lifestyle changes, diet, and supplements, Functional Medicine can help to improve a wide variety of conditions – from digestive issues to hormonal imbalances.
A New Study on the Power of Functional Medicine
In an interview on the Today Show, Dr. Li highlighted how Functional Medicine has been shown to improve highly-complex chronic health conditions.
To show how Functional Medicine is helping people across the country, Dr. Li shared the story of one of her patients, Palmer Kippola. According to Dr. Li, Palmer exhibited many of the worst symptoms that come with multiple sclerosis:
- Painful constriction throughout her torso
- Severe back and neck pain
- Difficulty walking and maintaining balance
- Painful gastrointestinal issues
According to Dr. Li, Palmer continued to suffer from these symptoms until she began meeting with a practicing Functional Medicine practitioner. According to Li, the results were astonishing. Within a few sessions, Palmer reported a reduction in both her debilitating GI and MS conditions. It wasn’t until she began to understand and address the root cause of her issues that she was finally able to get better.
Dr. Li’s patient is just one example of the power of Functional Medicine. As more research is conducted, it is becoming increasingly clear that Functional Medicine is an effective approach to healthcare.
In her research and experience, Dr. Li praises Functional Medicine and discusses how the Functional Medicine model comes alongside traditional medicine in addressing the root causes of disease.
But she isn’t simply observing these results – she has also used Functional Medicine to manage her own health struggles.
Dr. Li also shared in her interview how Functional Medicine has helped her revolutionize how she views her own health. After years of struggling with her own health issues, she has finally found relief and answers through Functional Medicine.
