BACK TO EDEN WELLNESS CENTERS

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HEALTHCARE

Functional medicine/wellness involves understanding the origins, prevention, and treatment of complex, chronic disease.

 BACK TO EDEN WELLNESS CENTERS specialize in comprehensive, personalized health solutions. We treat people, not symptoms.  Our Functional Wellness approach addresses the underlying cause of your health concerns (i.e. nutrient deficiencies, lifestyle/behavioral/dietary choices), helping you to truly heal your body, as well as prevent future issues from developing.

 We take an integrative, science-based healthcare/wellness approach. Functional medicine/wellness practitioners look “upstream” to consider the complex web of interactions in the client’s history, physiology, and lifestyle that can lead to illness. The unique genetic makeup of each client is considered, along with both internal (mind, body, and spirit) and external (physical and social environment) factors that affect total functioning.

 We integrate the best evidence and science-based medical/wellness practices. Functional medicine/wellness integrates traditional Western medical practices with what is sometimes considered “alternative” , “integrative” or “complimentary” medicine, creating a focus on prevention through nutrition, diet, and exercise; use of the latest laboratory testing and other diagnostic techniques; and prescribed combinations of drugs and/or botanical formulas, supplements, therapeutic diets, detoxification programs, or stress-management techniques.

Why Do We Need Functional Medicine/Wellness?

• Our society is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of people who suffer from complex, chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, obesity and autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis.
• The system of medicine practiced by most physicians is oriented toward acute care, the diagnosis and treatment of trauma or illness that is of short duration and in need of urgent care, such as appendicitis or a broken leg. Physicians apply specific, prescribed treatments such as drugs or surgery that aim to treat the immediate problem or symptom.
• Unfortunately, the acute-care approach to medicine lacks the proper methodology and tools for preventing and treating complex, chronic disease. In most cases it does not take into account the unique genetic makeup of each individual or factors such as environmental exposures to toxins and the aspects of today’s lifestyle that have a direct influence on the rise in chronic disease in modern Western society.
• There’s a huge gap between research and the way doctors practice. The gap between emerging research in basic sciences and integration into medical practice is enormous—as long as 50 years—particularly in the area of complex, chronic illness.
• Most physicians are not adequately trained to assess the underlying causes of complex, chronic disease and to apply strategies such as nutrition, diet, and exercise to both treat and prevent these illnesses in their clients. For example, 80% of type-2 diabetics are obese, however most physicians lack the knowledge and /or ability to support efforts to lose weight through evidence and science based weight loss programs.
