Functional Medicine
Today’s healthcare is divided into many specialties, but we know your body systems all work together. At Whole Medicine, we use a systems biology approach to finding and addressing the root cause of disease. Dr. Harding will review your entire life history to see how things may be impacting your body and health. The systems biology approach includes evaluation of structural integrity, nutrient assimilation, immune function, energy, hormonal communication, and detoxification.
This approach to medicine requires a lot of engagement from the patient. Changes to your lifestyle – whether that be improving your diet, sleep, or physical activity – is a critical part of the healing process. We find it is oftentimes helpful for some patients to work with a health coach for a few weeks to build the foundations of a healthy life before coming in to see Dr. Harding.
