Functional Medicine
Functional medicine aims to determine how and why your illness occurs, then restore health by addressing the root causes of disease.
Our approach to functional medicine at DrJohnEtcheverryDC.com involves an individualized and patient-centered approach. We work together with you to figure out what factors in your life are most negatively impacting your health. Causes may be genetic, hormonal, behavioral, or environmental. Sometimes, it is a combination of the above.
Put simply, functional medicine is a patient-centered approach to treatment, rather than being disease or condition-centered. It requires creating a treatment plan designed to address health issues at the source(s) specific to the individual, which offers the best chance of creating a permanent health solution.
