Dr. Cantor-Adkins focuses on the underlying imbalances that a person has and corrects these, rather than directing treatment primarily at specific conditions.

She works as your own personal private investigator to find the root cause of why you don’t feel well or have the symptoms you do.

In Functional Medicine, there is a concept:

One disease: many causes

One cause: many diseases

 

Thus, Dr. Cantor-Adkins looks at the particular imbalances underlying the dysfunction in a given person, rather than using a "one-size-fits-all" approach for a specific disease or condition.

A "diagnosis" is really just a description of a collection of symptoms and laboratory findings and doesn't tell you how a person got to that state. Conventional medicine uses these diagnoses for standardizing treatment, matching "a pill for every ill".

It is conceivable in Functional Medicine, that two people can have the same medical diagnosis, and receive completely different treatment plans.
