Functional medicine is rooted in biochemistry and improves health by addressing the root causes of disease for each individual. It does not replace the current treatments that you are receiving, but is used in conjunction with them to further improve your health. For instance, if you have high cholesterol despite changes to your diet and increasing your activity level, you are likely taking a medication like rosuvastatin. These medications work quite well, but they reduce the supply of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in your body. CoQ10 is a substance that helps convert food into energy and it is found in almost every cell in the body. It is a powerful antioxidant, which fight damaging particles in the body known as free radicals. Free radicals damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and even cause early cell death. Functional medicine has taught us that CoQ10 replacement should occur when a patient is taking a statin to lower cholesterol. This is just one example of the application of functional medicine.
