In order to live a long and healthy life we must take care of ourselves. Good health is important not for just a long life but to maintain a high quality of life. In the modern society, modern medicine is considered the most appropriate way to treat sick people.
However, it is common to have health concerns that extend beyond symptoms. As a result, many people are increasingly seeking an alternative to modern medicine that utilizes an integrated whole-person approach incorporating modern medicine and functional medicine for a more complete approach to over-all health.

The American Academy of Functional Medicine describes Functional Medicine as a systematic approach to discovering the underlying root causes for pain, fatigue and other diseases. The more patient-centered medical discipline considers the lifestyle habits and genetics of a patient to promote healing and well-being. This discipline takes into account the personalization of healthcare, as each patient care plan is individualized and unique. The relationship between patient and practitioner effectively becomes a partnership in which every aspect of a patient’s medical history and concerns are reviewed in detail. Instead of simply making a diagnosis and then determining which drugs or surgery will best treat the condition, at Traditional Family Medical Center, we approach medical issues differently by incorporating both modern medicine and a functional medicine approach for your best possible care. Rather than mask the issue, we seek to restore the natural functioning of our patient's bodies. Although we prescribe pharmaceuticals and use modern medicine techniques, we seek to nudge our patients' physiology in a positive way and provide natural alternatives when available
