The Restorative Medicine Center takes a root-cause, patient-centered approach, which is fundamentally different from the conventional medical model in several key ways:

1. Comprehensive and Holistic Evaluation:
   
   • Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses on symptom suppression, functional medicine looks at the "big picture" and explores how different systems in the body are interconnected.
   • Advanced testing methods go beyond standard labs to identify underlying imbalances, such as chronic infections, environmental toxins, and nutritional deficiencies.
2. Personalized Treatment Plans:
   
   • Conventional medicine tends to follow standardized treatment protocols based on diagnosis, whereas Restorative Medicine tailors interventions based on each individual's unique health history, genetics, and lifestyle.
3. Proactive Health Optimization:
   
   • Instead of waiting for symptoms to develop into a diagnosable condition, the focus is on early detection, prevention, and optimization of health through nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplements.
4. Emphasis on Patient Empowerment:
   
   • Patients are actively involved in their healing journey, receiving education and tools to make informed lifestyle changes that support long-term health.
5. Multi-System Approach:
   
   • Functional medicine examines how different systems (gut, immune, neurological, endocrine) work together, addressing health concerns from a whole-body perspective instead of treating isolated symptoms.
