Abstract	"Functional medicine is a personalized and holistic approach to healing chronic disease. It can be an alternative to conventional care, or work in combination with it, but the idea is to go beyond treating verifiable symptoms and try to understand each person's unique biology and address all of the interrelated causes of their disease. FM practitioners may prescribe changes to diet as well as drugs, informed as much by gut microbes and DNA testing as lab results. Functional medicine is a growing segment of health care, one worth studying and especially so because there are no other books on the topic. However, Rosalynn Vega's research into FM began when she was seeking more effective treatment for her own struggles with chronic disease.
