Mental Health
Mental health is an essential part of well-being, especially during challenging times. While the biological causes of chronic mental health conditions have not been specified, several functional medicine strategies, including personalized nutrition and a focus on mind-body therapies, have shown mutual benefit in supporting both physical and mental health.
Balancing Mind and Body
“The root cause of disease may not be physiological in nature, though it produces physiological effects. Consider stress. Our thoughts and perceptions influence our mood and can change the plasticity of the brain." - Henri Roca, MD, IFMCP
