LivingMatrix in the News

With an end goal to keep fabricating the Functional Medicine proof base, one of IFM’s long haul key objectives are to catalyze and encourage investigation into the adequacy, just as the cost-viability, of the Functional Medicine (FM) model.

One of the boundaries to this work has consistently been simply the idea of Functional Medicine: an entire individual, frameworks science-based model does not the loan itself well to contemplate in randomized controlled preliminaries (RCTs), in which just single intercessions are under investigation.

Create a culture of innovation above all else. When you’re forging a new path you have to be willing to fail, try new things and be open to new ideas from all sources, especially from team members who are in the trenches and have a pulse on the customer. You never know where the next brilliant idea will come from, and if you’re not actively soliciting ideas from all levels and listening you’ll miss the gems.

There are very few books I reread for pleasure, but Steingarten’s book is pure joy. I heartily relate to his intense compulsion and scientific curiosity behind each dish he encounters. One of the best chapters is about the lobster roll–primarily, the role of the lobster in that sandwich from conception through molting through its final moments of life. Tacos, baguettes, turducken, you name it. He answers questions about our food we would not think to ask, yet are inextricably linked to health and humanity.

The Functional Medicine evaluation is a comprehensive, whole-person view into what may be going on.  The Functional Medicine practitioner will use this comprehensive look to work jointly with the patient to identify the underlying triggers and issues. They may also perform lab tests to delineate the root cause further and will work in partnership with the patient to create a Functional Medicine prescription that includes lifestyle interventions, like improving sleep hygiene or stress reduction techniques, which have been shown to be effective in improving symptoms.

It hooked me in its effort to answer one single question: ‘Why does my foot hurt?’ The path to that answer, like all health-related journeys, combines the physical, mental, spiritual and cultural realms. For me, it was less about the activity of running and more of an organic odyssey about overcoming perceived limitations and self-imposed barriers to tap into your inner super-human.”

This is how it works: Before their first appointment with a functional-medicine practitioner, patients receive an invitation to fill out an online health questionnaire. The cloud-based software then automatically maps the information into the timeline and matrix. This enables the doctor to review the patient’s answers and meet him at the first appointment with the beginnings of fully populated documents in hand, prepared to dive deeper into his health issues and discuss individualized treatment approaches.
