The founder of functional medicine is linus pauling, who won the Nobel Prize twice. The father of functional medicine is Jeffrey Brand. In 2009, Dr. Brand successfully argued with the US government to write functional medicine into the US health care reform plan and enter the mainstream medicine in the United States. Functional medicine is preventive medicine with comprehensive treatment as its core. As a new medical model, it embodies the concept of holistic medicine and is a new means of health management and chronic disease management. Dynamic method is mainly used to detect and evaluate human health, and to study the process from functional decline to pathological changes. In the recent 10 years of development in China, it has played a very good role in the field of chronic disease intervention and sub-health management.
Why is this so important? Traditional clinical medicine has no effective solution to chronic diseases. With the rapid development of science and technology, the root of chronic diseases has been found through the theory and practice of functional medicine, which has brought a brand-new thinking mode to the field of health management. The development of functional medicine in the world is only 30 years, and it has been 10 years since it entered China, but more and more clinicians and experts have joined the study and research in the field of functional medicine. Professor Zeng Qiang, the chief expert of health management in China, introduced the introduction of functional medicine this year, and the 20 17 functional medicine forum was held frequently in various places. We are lucky to be familiar with this theory at this time node, and also lucky to have the opportunity to apply this theory in our team and witness the future development.
