Heard of Functional Medicine?

I just love those golden moments of learning new things and my current studies are certainly providing many of those!

The most recent module was around nutritional and functional medicine.  There is so much about nutrition that I truly feel needs to be shared much earlier in our lives, not just cooking lessons!  

Functional Medicine on the other hand was something I had not come across before.  This is a field that gets to the root cause of the condition, rather than treating the symptoms.  Whilst our NHS do fantastic work perhaps by adapting to the same methods as functional medicine it may reduce the need for patients (some being the same patients) seeing them all the time.

There are so many aspects of our lives such as environment (home & work),  genetics, diet, social network, habits etc that could be taken into account to help us move to a more happier and healthier life.
