WHY FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?
The rate of people suffering from autoimmune conditions in the U.S. is larger than that of heart disease and cancer combined. Many individuals suffering from symptoms such as abdominal pain, fatigue, joint pain, and digestive issues rely heavily on drugs and invasive surgeries over a long period of time under conventional treatment.
Functional medicine practice focuses on the root cause of health conditions while providing guidance on lifestyle and nutritional changes. It is generally complemented with natural treatments that are necessary to reverse the autoimmune condition and restore optimum health.
EVENT
We are hosting a private panel in San Francisco with three Bay Area functional medicine doctors who will share their insights on healing autoimmune diseases with functional medicine.
Join us for a fun and insightful event where you have a chance to meet three incredible functional medicine doctors and our community members who believe in holistic healthcare approach. Healthy refreshments and snacks will be provided. You can purchase gluten-free ciders, beer, and wine from our friends at Upcider.
