FAQ
Common questions
Is functional medicine supported by research?
The evidence base is early. Some studies and case series suggest functional medicine consultations can improve patient-reported outcomes, and many of its lifestyle recommendations align with established research. Large, controlled trials of the model itself are scarce. Keep conventional diagnosis in place and treat functional approaches as complementary.
