"Our mission at Pittsburgh Center for Functional Medicine is to help reverse and prevent complex chronic medical problems at the root cause level. Disease takes root when there is an imbalance in the physiologic, genetic, lifestyle, social and environmental factors that form the foundation of each and every one of us. By digging deeper and tending to the roots of illness through functional medicine, we heal “upstream” beyond the standard medical paradigm of treating symptoms and managing disease. We actively partner with our patients to cultivate a comprehensive wellness plan, with the goal of uprooting disease and harvesting lifelong vitality."
