Frequently Asked Questions

What is functional medicine for endometriosis?

Functional medicine for endometriosis looks beyond pain control to evaluate inflammation, hormone metabolism, gut health, immune stress, nutrition, and environmental triggers that may influence symptoms. It does not replace gynecological care, but it can support the body through targeted testing, dietary strategies, digestive repair, and lifestyle changes designed to reduce inflammatory burden and improve overall resilience.
