Start Your Healing Journey
We understand that the current system of healthcare delivery is failing Canadians. This isn’t a judgment, it’s a call to action. Chronic disease is on the rise with 44% of Canadian adults over 20 years old having 1 of 10 of the most prevalent chronic conditions (CCHS, 2016). It is this understanding that inspired the collection of services offered at Functional Medicine Uptown.
Our mission is to provide a framework for a greater understanding of how the body works, away from “this disease happened to you” towards, “this is what your disease is telling you”. It is only after accepting this truth that your healing journey begins – and we’re ready.
