At Virasoap Natural Medicine, we use a holistic approach to healing, addressing the whole human: body, mind, and spirit. We utilize a unique blend of naturopathic and functional healing approaches in our practice. We focus on prevention and supporting patients from the inside out by using the power of nature, nutrition and biochemistry.
Naturopathic medicine is health care that that emphasizes prevention and self-healing using both modern and traditional methods. Naturopathic medical doctors support the body’s healing abilities and empower individuals to make lifestyle changes necessary for their optimal health. At the heart of naturopathic medicine is treating each person as an individual and considering his or her whole being. We do not treat one bodily system as a separate entity from the rest of the person’s body, because each system is interconnected with the other.
Functional medicine is an “individualized, patient-centered, science-based approach that empowers patients and practitioners to work together to address the underlying causes of disease and promote optimal wellness”. Functional medicine practitioners learn detailed understanding of each patient’s genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle factors in order to give personalized treatment plans that lead to improved patient outcomes.
