FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
If you want to use nutritional supplements on your path to greater health and authenticity you cannot do better than to work with a doctor or other health practitioner specifically trained in functional medicine. This is a cutting-edge science-based healthcare approach where the underlying causes of illness are assessed and treated. It uses individually tailored therapies to restore and enhance health naturally and to improve whole-person functioning. Check out the Institute of Functional Medicine on the Web. Thorne Research and Metagenics are two of the best nutritional supplement companies whose products are sold through practitioners. They are also available from the Nutri Centre in London.
