The Centre for Advanced Medicine is a fast growing integrative medical centre with a multidisciplinary team setting that uses the Functional Medical Model to solve chronic, complex health problems.
You will find our health care professionals work tirelessly to determine which combination of our dedicated practitioners will best make up your healthcare team to restore your health and allow you to reach your full potential. Our functional medical approach uses leading edge diagnostic techniques and treatments. Along with our in-house team, we collaborate with a network of Medical Doctors and other health practitioners to solve the most complicated health problems.
Our commitment to patients is to meet their current needs with long-term solutions that ensure immediate, renewed health and future health independence.
“The human body is composed of networks. Disease does not occur in isolated regions of the body; instead it is a disturbance of a more complex, interconnected web. The future of medicine is to treat the disturbance or the mechanism (upstream cause) not the disease (downstream effect).”
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. It is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, our Functional Medicine Clinic in Whitby, Markham focuses on the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms.
Functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.
