What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine provides a sophisticated framework to systematically identify and address the underlying processes and dysfunctions that contribute to imbalance and disease in each individual. Beyond simply treating symptoms, it seeks to understand why you are experiencing health challenges. By deeply exploring your unique genetic makeup, environmental exposures, and lifestyle choices, functional medicine clinicians craft highly personalized interventions designed to restore balance, health, and overall well-being.
A Holistic and Comprehensive Approach
Functional medicine treats the whole person, acknowledging the intricate connections between your physical, mental, and emotional health. Dr. Bruno integrates a broad spectrum of modern scientific tools, combining a deep understanding of biology, physiology, and genetics with crucial insights into social and environmental determinants of health, and the vital mind-body connection. This comprehensive approach, focused on prevention and well-being, expands the evaluation process and prioritizes lifestyle-based therapies that enhance your existing care plan. It’s a blend of conventional care with a personalized framework that targets the root causes of disease and restores healthy function.
You, the Active Partner in Your Health
Your voice and choice in how you receive care matter. With Dr. Bruno, you become an active partner in improving your health and shaping the outcome of disease. Through extensive patient histories, detailed lifestyle assessments, and a focus on the interconnectedness of your bodily systems, we work together to personalize a treatment plan. This plan may include a combination of therapeutic diets, exercise, stress management techniques, judicious use of pharmaceuticals or botanicals, and other key lifestyle modifications to guide you on your healing journey.
