Functional medicine<\/a> focuses on caring for the whole human being\u2014body, mind, spirit, and community\u2014realizing that the body\u2019s various systems are interrelated and symbiotic to one another. At in2GREAT, a Kansas City center for functional medicine, all the best approaches of conventional medicine, as well as new and ancient practices for healing, are utilized to achieve optimal health.<\/p>\n

Working with Our Natural Design<\/h2>\n

Modern functional medicine is capitalizing on the innate healing properties that are a natural part of the human body. Does functional medicine work? Can I trust a center for functional medicine? Yes; just as the human\u2019s natural healing responses work, functional medicine\u2019s key benefit is that is plays to this strength in the human design. Our bodies have a remarkable ability to heal when provided with the right basic materials.<\/p>\n

Conventional medicine devolved over time to basically throwing drugs at different ailments in an attempt to make patients feel better, faster, and to see more patients and earn more income. It fails to consider the effects of our environment, what we eat, or how we live. What people take into their bodies has a tremendous effect on health; so why do we believe that ingesting more artificial substances will solve our health problems?<\/p>\n

Many ancient medicine practices focused on stimulating the body\u2019s own natural healing response. Today\u2019s modern medicine allows us to do the same, but also provide our systems a natural boost to not only speed healing, but to achieve more complete healing. By discovering the root cause of health problems and conditions, a center for functional medicine can then prescribe the best possible treatment to solve the overall problem.<\/p>\n

Does Functional Medicine Work for Everyone?<\/h2>\n

Sadly, the answer is no. Functional medicine does not work for those who listen to the rumors and fears of others and do not give it a chance. You will likely never achieve a better state of wellness than you currently enjoy through conventional medicine alone; this is especially true if you suffer from complicated long-term conditions.<\/p>\n

Also, functional medicine does not work for those who are not willing to let it work. A center for functional medicine will focus on getting to the bottom of your health issues. This takes time. Underlying health conditions cannot be diagnosed or solved with a one-hour visit and a new prescription medication. You must be willing to pursue every avenue of cause with your physician to determine the best solution for long-term healing. And you must be willing to undergo the therapies and modalities that will best treat your condition.<\/p>\n

At in2GREAT Functional Medicine and Integrated Health, we are committed to helping our patients achieve their best health. If you are ready to feel better and find new solutions to lingering health issues, call us or send an online message<\/a> to schedule a consultation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
