The True Universal Language of Functional Medicine
When I started the Functional Forum in 2014, I chose the name very deliberately.
I believed functional medicine had the potential to become the universal language of the new era of healthcare.
For years before that, I had spent time with chiropractors, naturopathic doctors, Chinese medicine practitioners, Ayurvedic physicians, osteopaths, nutritionists, and functional medicine doctors. Although they came from very different traditions, I was struck by how often they reached the same conclusion.
Health is created.
The body is an interconnected system. Lifestyle matters. Environment matters. Relationships matter. Human beings are dynamic, adaptive networks rather than collections of isolated organs.
