By tailoring our treatments to your unique requirements, we ensure that you receive the attention necessary to support your journey towards optimal health and well-being.
“Functional Medicine Timeline
One of the most popular toolkit items is the Functional Medicine Timeline. This tool allows practitioners to capture the patient’s important life events, family history, and genetic information from in utero to present day. In particular, the tool helps pinpoint antecedents, triggers, and mediators (ATMs) to help identify any role they play—past or present—in the patient’s disease. This foundational tool helps practitioners establish a therapeutic partnership with their patients and gives the space for each patient’s unique story to be heard and validated.”
“IFM Matrix
Functional medicine recognizes that illness does not occur in isolation, and the IFM Matrix helps practitioners examine the body systems, symptoms, and risk factors associated with a specific condition. The matrix provides an outline for the practitioner to organize the patient’s clinical imbalances in the following biological systems, called nodes: defense and repair, energy, biotransformation and elimination, transport, communication, structural integrity, and assimilation.”
