What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a personalized and integrative approach to healthcare which involves understanding the prevention, management and root causes of complex chronic disease, The ultimate goal is to heal disease and promote a healthy life. A healthy life is not defined as simply an absence of disease, but rather a positive vitality filled with energy, joy, gratitude and balance.

Functional medicine does not reject conventional medicine, instead it uses conventional medicine as a foundation on which to add new dimensions in the evaluation, management and prevention of chronic disease.

The Functional Medicine Approach

Identifying The Cause

Integrating Medical Practices

Functional Medicine practitioners look "upstream" to consider the complexity of a patient's illness from their genes, history, physiology, and lifestyle. Through identification of the patient's unique genetic makeup, this "inside-out" approach addresses the often overlooked aspects of internal factors (mind, body and spirit) and external factors (physical and social environment) that contribute to optimal function.

Integrating Medical Practices

Functional Medicine incorporates traditional Western medical practices with other types of medical approaches from around the world. This integration of medical traditions focuses on prevention of disease through nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle; use of the latest laboratory testing and diagnostic techniques; and prescribed combinations of medications, botanicals, supplements, therapeutic diets, exercise plans, rehabilitation plans, detoxification programs and stress management techniques.

Patient-Centered Care

Integrating Medical Practices

Patient-Centered Care

The focus of Functional Medicine is on patient-centered care, promoting health as a positive vitality, beyond just the absence of disease. By listening to the patient and learning his or her story, the practitioner brings the patient into the discovery process and tailors treatments that address the individual’s unique needs.

Why Is Functional Medicine Needed?

The Problem

Due to a dramatic increase in the amount of people suffering from complex, chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, ADHD, autism and mental illness, functional medicine is more critical than ever.

Healing the patient has been replaced with treating the patient by controlling the disease through an increasing, life-time need for prescription drugs. This form of acute care is only best for the diagnosis and treatment of trauma or illness that is of short duration and in need of urgent care, such as appendicitis or a broken leg.

Patients need a more holistic approach that addresses the root causes of their problems, instead of covering them up.

Functional Medicine is that approach!

The Solution

At Natural Health on Earth Solutions

Natural Health on Earth Solutions was created by Dr. John Artis, DC. Originally practicing chiropractic care, Dr. Artis integrates both approaches into an individualized program for his patients.

Through his own experiences with chronic diseases, like asthma, Dr. Artis learned that the traditional approach to medicine is not enough. This inspired him to learn more about alternative care. Although chiropractic care was his start, functional medicine is where it continues.

Natural Health on Earth Solutions was created to offer patients individualized care that focuses on regaining health through the benefit from medical science and holistic knowledge that has not yet been integrated into conventional medicine.
