How do you identify the root cause of a patient’s symptoms?
I take a comprehensive approach, considering not just the symptoms, but also the patient's medical history, lifestyle, diet, and any potential environmental factors. I also use advanced testing to pinpoint imbalances, deficiencies, or toxins that might be contributing to their condition.
Why do you personally test treatments before offering them?
I believe in the power of evidence-based medicine. Testing treatments myself ensures I fully understand their effects and can confidently offer them to my patients, knowing they're safe and effective.
What do most doctors miss when treating chronic illness?
Many doctors focus primarily on managing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes of those symptoms. Chronic illness often involves complex, interconnected factors—like hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, or toxins—that require a deeper, more holistic approach.
What does the body need to heal itself naturally?
The body needs balance—physically, mentally, and emotionally. This involves proper nutrition, regular movement, quality sleep, and a supportive environment that reduces stress. When these elements are in place, the body's natural healing mechanisms are able to function optimally.
How do you approach treatment for complex or long-term conditions?
For complex or long-term conditions, I develop personalized treatment plans that address the root causes, not just the symptoms. This may involve a combination of nutritional therapy, hormone balancing, targeted supplements, and other natural healing techniques. My goal is to restore overall health and function, so patients can achieve long-term wellness.
What is a functional medicine doctor?
“From my viewpoint, Functional Medicine is a way to assess a person’s health functionally—because the body is designed to function.
By definition, Functional Medicine takes a systems biology approach, focusing on which body systems are out of balance rather than just treating symptoms with a quick fix. Instead of masking issues with medication, we identify and correct the underlying dysfunction, allowing symptoms to naturally resolve as true healing takes place.”
-Dr. Anju Mathur
A functional medicine doctor takes a holistic and personalized approach, focusing on the root causes of disease rather than just symptoms. Unlike conventional medicine, which follows standardized treatments, functional medicine considers genetics, environment, and lifestyle to create tailored care plans. By blending traditional and evidence-based alternative therapies, functional medicine doctors restore balance and support the body’s natural healing ability.
