Functional Medicine:
Functional Medicine determines how and why illness occurs and restores health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual.
The Functional Medicine model is an individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness. It requires a detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors and leverages that data to direct personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.
By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, practitioners become oriented to identifying the complexity of disease. They may find one condition has many different causes and, likewise, one cause may result in many different conditions. As a result, Functional Medicine treatment targets the specific manifestations of disease in each individual.

The Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA) is a partner with the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM). It is the only coaching certification program that has completely incorporated Functional Medicine and Functional Nutrition into the curriculum. IFM educators collaborated with FMCA to develop the course content, which gives health coaches a time-tested standard that can be consistently applied in various settings and effectively discussed with other Functional Medicine practitioners around the world.
FMCA-trained health coaches guide patients to optimum wellness using Functional Medicine, Functional Nutrition, Mind-Body Medicine, and Positive Psychology Coaching. A central theme of the training, positive psychology embraces and enhances people’s higher selves to achieve optimal functioning.
