Does functional medicine actually work?

506 people recorded interviews about functional medicine across 79 organisations. 108 of them mentioned better family or relationship life in their own words. The most common timeframe people described was over a year. Every figure below is a count of what people said in their recorded interview — not a clinical trial or a survey.

People who went the root-cause route after conventional care stalled, describing what changed and how long it took.

Individual results vary. This is one customer's first-hand account of their own experience, recorded on camera and published unedited. It is not medical advice, and nothing here is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Talk to a qualified healthcare professional before making decisions about your health.
