Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine (FM) practitioners focus on the whole person rather than just focusing on individual symptoms. This involves understanding the origin of the chronic disease, as well as its prevention and treatment. The FM practitioners dedicate much of their time to their patients, listening and understanding their history and examining how different factors, including their environment, lifestyle, and genetic factors affect their health. They consider all these aspects to offer a personalized and comprehensive approach.

Lifetrust Home Healthcare & Consulting PLLC has been providing functional medicine services to at-home patients since 2014 in the UK and now in Tetoo. Our trained and licensed practitioners are dedicated to providing support to every patient while offering optimal care.

Environmental, Psychological and Genetic Factors

The diet you take, the quality of air you breathe, the water you drink, your level of physical activity, and your exposure to any traumas are factors that have a huge impact on your health.

Even psychological, social, and spiritual factors can have a profound influence on your health. Our Functional Medicine practitioners examine your overall health, focusing on you as a whole person rather than just your physical symptoms. For instance, stress can affect your sleep pattern and your hormones. The stress and its effects on the hormones might be the actual root cause of the chronic fatigue you’re dealing with, like hair loss, weight gain or loss, etc.

Our FM team, after identifying the root cause, will develop a specialized plan according to your needs and implement changes according to your speed. They believe in creating a long–term and effective lifestyle change over a temporary relief.

Additionally, genes can also be a reason behind certain diseases. Emerging research shows that your lifestyle, experiences, beliefs, attitudes, and everything in your environment can influence your genes, which means it is possible to alter the ways your genes are activated and expressed.

Understanding the above-mentioned factor, our FM practitioners identify the affected bodily processes. Some may be at a cellular level involving how the cells function, maintain, and repair themselves, while others are related to how your body responds to your intake of nutrients. Any of the processes can be disrupted and can cause or accelerate the diseases and symptoms.

What do Our FM Practitioners do?

Comprehensive Health Assessments:

In order to identify the root cause of your health concerns, we conduct health assessments using advanced laboratory tests, which may include hormone panels, genetic testing, blood work, and more. We also take time to learn about your health history, lifestyle, and medical history to identify the patterns of the symptoms. We assess the risk factors of chronic disease with the help of your health data to develop prevention and treatment plans.

Personalized Treatment Plans

We take a personalized approach to treating your diseases. For instance, we develop nutrition plans that are focused on nourishing and healing your body and helping you make sustainable changes. Similarly, we prescribe supplements to support your health and address the nutrient deficiency according to your individual needs.

Additionally, we help you modify your lifestyle and behavior by encouraging you to practice stress management techniques, healthy exercise routines, mindfulness techniques, and meditation to support both your body and mind.

Our FM practitioners excel in managing chronic diseases, including diabetes, autoimmune disorders, digestive health, cardiovascular health, and more. They take preventative care through regular health screenings, lifestyle coaching, etoxification programs, and hormone testing and provide nutritional support, natural therapies and supplements, and emotional and psychological support.
