Functional Medicine Patients Experience Better Improvement (Duh!)

by Mila McManus MD

The functional medicine patients exhibited significantly larger improvements in patient reported outcomes at six months and sustained at 12 months.

The Journal of the American Medical Association [JAMA] published results of a 2019 study which assessed the association between functional medicine and patient-reported health-related quality of life. The cohort study compared 7252 patients treated in a functional medicine setting with matched patients in a primary care setting over a 6 to 12 month period. These patients exhibited significantly larger improvements in patient reported outcomes at six months and sustained at 12 months. The findings of this study suggest that functional medicine may have the ability to improve global health in patients.

It comes as no surprise to us, and it was nice to see a study reported by well-respected JAMA confirming what we have seen for more than 17 years here in our facility. Our practice is a health model rather than a disease model. It’s health care which integrates treatment of the whole human system according to individual needs, promoting healing and restoring optimal function. If you’re not already seeing a functional medicine specialist, what are you waiting for? If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting.

“I am so glad I found Dr. McManus.”

I am so glad I found Dr. McManus.

After going to 5 doctors in conventional medicine I finally decided to branch out to functional medicine. I am so glad I found Dr. McManus. She treated each one of my many symptoms which ranged from anxiety, awful reflux, sleep issues, moodiness, but most of all a nerve issue. She set out a detailed plan with diet, supplements and testing. I felt so much better after the diet reset and taking the proper nutrients my body so desperately needed. Dr. McManus’ whole staff is extremely well trained to help you with anything that comes up. I loved the weekly email check-ins while on the diet cleanse. They give you the resources to help you and they really want you to feel your very best.

From Lana P.

Thanks
