In our nutritious and healthy life, the application of functional medicine mainly includes the following aspects:
Genetic testing and personalized nutrition program: Through genetic testing, we can understand the genetic characteristics and potential health risks of individuals, and then formulate personalized nutrition supplement programs and health management programs based on this information. For example, Dr. Miller's laboratory is doing this kind of work. By analyzing gene SNP, he tailored nutritional supplements for everyone, so as to provide accurate health management programs for everyone and improve their health.
Prevention of diseases: Functional medicine believes that many chronic diseases are caused by lifestyle and environmental factors, so these diseases can be effectively prevented by improving living habits such as diet and exercise.
Health promotion: through continuous health management, including regular health examination and genetic testing, health problems can be found and solved in time, thus improving health.
Generally speaking, functional medicine provides a brand-new health management method, which can not only help us prevent and treat diseases, but also help us achieve a healthier and more satisfactory life.
