Functional medicine is a practice of looking closer at a patient's lab reports to find patterns in dysfunction. Many patients might not be exhibiting pathological lab findings for their symptoms (i.e., Hypothyroidism). Still, a functional medicine doctor will be able to detect lab ranges that most likely correlate with a patient's symptoms before the disease is diagnosed.
