Functional health approaches address autoimmune diseases by modulating immune function, reducing inflammation, and supporting tissue repair. This may involve identifying and eliminating trigger foods, addressing gut health issues, optimizing nutrient status, managing stress, and implementing anti-inflammatory diets or protocols.

Functional health specialists help individuals with digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by identifying and addressing underlying factors such as dysbiosis, food sensitivities, gut permeability, and stress. Treatment may involve dietary modifications, probiotics, gut-healing protocols, and stress management techniques.

Functional health approaches focus on addressing underlying factors contributing to thyroid dysfunction, such as nutrient deficiencies, autoimmune reactions, hormonal imbalances, and stress. Treatment may include optimizing iodine, selenium, and zinc levels, supporting adrenal health, identifying and removing dietary triggers, and implementing lifestyle changes to support thyroid function.

Functional health specialists take a comprehensive approach to managing Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), by addressing underlying factors such as mitochondrial dysfunction, dysautonomia, immune dysregulation, and oxidative stress. Treatment may involve nutritional support, mitochondrial support supplements, pacing strategies, stress management techniques, and gentle exercise protocols tailored to individual energy levels.

Functional health interventions aim to address chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic back pain, and osteoarthritis by targeting inflammation, improving tissue repair, and modulating pain signaling pathways. Treatment may involve dietary modifications, nutritional supplements with anti-inflammatory properties, mind-body therapies, and personalized exercise programs.

Functional health approaches recognize the interconnectedness of the body and mind and address mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD by addressing underlying biochemical imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, gut-brain axis dysregulation, and lifestyle factors. Treatment may include targeted nutrient supplementation, dietary modifications, stress reduction techniques, and behavioral therapies.
