Functional Medicine Programs
A personalized, root-cause approach to health care that addresses the whole person, not just symptoms, through nutrition, lifestyle, and integrative therapies.
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of illness, not just treating symptoms. This systems-based approach looks at the body as an interconnected whole and empowers patients and practitioners to work collaboratively toward long-term wellness.
At Buffalo Nutrition & Dietetics, PLLC, we take the time to understand your unique health history, genetics, environment, and lifestyle. Using this information, we develop a personalized plan that targets imbalances and supports healing at the root level. Our Functional Medicine Programs offer a root-cause approach to health care that addresses the whole person through nutrition, lifestyle, and integrative therapies.
Sessions are covered by most insurance plans. For more information about insurance coverage for these visits, contact our office and we will verify benefit coverage with your insurance company.
