Functional medicine is a healthcare approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of disease rather than just treating symptoms. It emphasizes a holistic view of the patient, considering their unique physical, mental, and emotional needs, and taking into account various factors like diet, lifestyle, and environment. 

Root Cause Identification

At Dr. Lily David, we seek to understand the root causes of illness, rather than simply suppressing symptoms. 

Holistic Approach

We consider the interconnectedness of the body's systems and how they impact overall health. 

Individualized Care

Treatment plans are tailored to the specific needs of each patient, taking into account their unique health history and circumstances. 

Focus on Symptoms vs. Root Causes

Conventional medicine often focuses on alleviating symptoms, while functional medicine aims to address the underlying imbalances or dysfunctions. Conventional medicine may rely on traditional diagnostic tools, while functional medicine utilizes a wider range of tools, including advanced testing and assessments.
