Functional Medicine Dubai
Functional medicine is emerging as a favorable option for treatment for illnesses and it recognizes that each individual is unique.
It recognizes the impact of our environment and lifestyle, which includes diet, nutrition, exposures, contaminants, relationships, stressors, exercise, and emotions, on our biochemical and physiological functions. It also examines how these same factors affect genetic predispositions and interact with our genome (our genetic makeup). The concept that our living environment ultimately dictates “function” is the central concept of functional medicine in Dubai.
Keeping in mind that the concept of environment incorporates the patient’s total experiences from birth to the present, it is essential to have a thorough understanding of each patient’s past. Specialized testing–including specialized laboratories and instruments–is used to evaluate the processes from which imbalances arise prior to disease development or during the treatment of chronic illness.
What Does a Doctor of Functional Medicine Do?
Doctors of functional medicine examine a patient’s complete medical history to determine a disease’s origins. Typically, they spend more time with patients than conventional physicians. They acquire comprehensive information about the disease and your lifestyle in general. A physician of functional medicine would inquire about:- The timeline of symptoms
- Sleep patterns
- Exercise habits
- Nutrition
- Stressors
- Personal relationships
- Emotional wellbeing
What Distinguishes Traditional Medicine From Functional Medicine?
According to Healers‘, functional medicine places greater emphasis on locating the underlying cause of a showing symptom. A patient arrives with a presenting complaint, and we hope to reduce or eliminate symptoms. However, after locating and treating the underlying cause, we hope that the alleviation of symptoms will be a permanent solution. There is an emphasis on a thorough history-taking session in which we can acquire as much information as possible about the patient to arrive at the most precise working diagnosis.Conditions Treated by Functional Medicine

Why Do Functional Physicians Devote So Much Attention To The Gut And Hormones?
We pay more attention to the intestine than to hormones because we believe it is the first organ susceptible to disease. It means that the stomach can be affected by the delivery method alone. A cesarean section will alter the microbiome of the intestines, as will the first feed. What a mother consumes influences how a breastfed infant responds. These minute reactions will also influence the immune system. Then there are antibiotics, analgesics, and numerous lifestyle choices, to say nothing of stress. Numerous factors can affect the stomach, which in turn affects all other systems. I consider the digestive system to be one of the most important systems when determining the etiology of a problem.Why Choose Healers for Functional Medicine in Dubai?
