Functional Diagnostic Medicine
A Holistic Patient Focused Method
Functional Diagnostic Medicine (FDM) is a systems biology approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. You are discovering and correcting the underlying cause of a disease process or dysfunction so the body can in turn return to a state of health and wellness.
​
The focus of functional diagnostic medicine is less on the condition and more on identifying and removing the underlying cause and the obstacles that block healing, and improving existing physiological systems.
