Functional Medicine and Holistic Nutrition means the sum of all parts of a whole. So, if we think of our bodies as a whole, the sum of its parts includes the physical and chemical, mental and emotional, as well as the spiritual and environmental. 

 

Not only that, functional medicine also considers the food one eats -  where your food comes from and what your food ate - because all of these nutrients will, in some form or other, come to be absorbed by the body and either help or inhibit your health.
