Functional Medicine Cardiology

Meaning

Functional Medicine Cardiology is an integrative approach to cardiovascular health that seeks to identify and address the root causes of heart disease, moving beyond symptom management and conventional risk factor modification. This discipline utilizes advanced diagnostics to evaluate the complex interplay of genetic, environmental, lifestyle, and metabolic factors, including hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, and gut dysbiosis. The practice emphasizes personalized, upstream interventions—such as targeted nutrition and hormone optimization—to restore physiological balance and promote long-term cardiovascular longevity. It represents a paradigm shift from disease treatment to systemic wellness.
