Food, Medicine, and Function

Food is not just calories; food is information. Food is a complex array of macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that upgrade or downgrade our biological software with every bite. The standard American diet lacks essential nutrients and is rich in refined flour, sugar, and inflammatory oils that drive dysbiosis, metabolic dysfunction, and chronic disease. Modern medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating disease with drugs, not creating health. Functional medicine organizes the body into a network of interconnected systems. It focuses on correcting the underlying functional imbalances that drive disease while restoring health using personalized diet, lifestyle, and nutrition interventions.
