Modern Functional Medicine

Detoxification is a way to reset your body chemistry so that your physical systems can perform more properly. Once a healthy, all-natural ‘detox’ program has been completed, you will have something approximating a ‘clean slate’ on which you and your physician can conduct therapies that protect you from illness and disease long term.

Functional Medicine can help you reduce chronic inflammation and restore balance to your body’s natural defense mechanisms. Even though inflammation is a way for your body to remove harmful stimuli like bacteria, when it stays too long it can work against you and cause insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, depression, and a host of gastrointestinal disorders.

Mounting research reveals the intricate connection between an unbalanced microbiome and chronic illnesses. These ‘diseases of the gut’ include inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Type 2 diabetes, liver disease, heart disease, and even certain forms of cancer – all from digestive tract inflammation! Don’t let a troubled gut undermine your quality of life.

You may have heard recently that ‘Mitochondria’ are the powerhouse of your cells. This is true, in that they are responsible for producing much of your body’s fuel. And while they are quite resilient, they can become overworked by a process called ‘oxidative stress’ which is another type of system imbalance that can be reversed by Functional Medicine.

We should be able to live our everyday lives in harmony with what our biology predicts, but many of us struggle to find a balance. This manifests in chronic inflammation, extreme fatigue, and poor mood regulation – all of which can be brought under control with the right diagnostic testing and a functional approach to taking control of your health.

So much can be said about the causes of anxiety and depression, but one thing that is often overlooked is the correlation between physical health and mental health. If you are suffering from symptoms of depression and you recognize that you do not take care of your body in an age-appropriate manner, then an integrative Functional Medicine program in Thailand could be just what the doctor ordered! Imagine receiving relaxing therapies derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Traditional Thai Medicine, acupuncture, massage, meditation, a proper wake/exercise/sleep regimen, and a detoxifying nutrition program for 10-14 days, accompanied by the gentle murmur of the sea in a quiet, pristine, beachside retreat in Thailand. ImagineHealth can facilitate all that for you, and more.
