What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a whole person approach to wellness. Rather than treating a particular symptom or illness, in Functional Medicine we look for connections and underlying causes. Traditional Medicine is oriented toward disease; infections, accidents, heart attacks, stroke and many other acute physical ailments can be effectively treated with modern, traditional medicine. However, what can tend to get missed or not treated adequately are chronic or connected conditions. If, for example, someone has chronic inflammation, one could prescribe medication to help control the condition. Or one could dig deeper to find the underlying cause and address that. Disease related inflammation can be caused by many factors, including exposure to environmental and dietary triggers. In women, fluctuating hormone levels can be a major contributing factor and can be treated with hormone replacement therapy. So one can address the symptom or one can dig deeper to find the underlying cause of the symptom(s) and more effectively address the true source of the problem to relieve the symptoms. 

As a Concierge Doctor, Dr. Casad believes in the Functional Medicine approach. She takes the time to understand all of the issues you are experiencing and utilizes many resources to uncover ways these may be connected and, more importantly, what could be the root causes of these conditions, including diet, exercise and stress. She works to get you back to functioning optimally and to prevent non-optimum conditions in the future. Your overall wellness, vitality and longevity are her concerns. 

Why More is Better

A recent survey of U.S. Primary Care Physicians found that 83 percent of doctors are spread so thin that they are not able to spend enough time with patients and end up writing prescriptions or referring them to specialists because of time constraints. To be able to provide truly effective and personalized care, doctors need more time with their patients to get a better picture of their overall health, to take preventative care actions and coach on lifestyle habits including diet and exercise.

Studies show that the Concierge Doctor primary care model results in better outcomes for patients’ health, because your doctor will devote more time and resources to your health and wellness.

So, Yes, more is better:
• More quality time to discuss issues and concerns without rushing,
• More access to your doctor by phone, texting and email as well as quick appointments with no waiting,
• More preventative and individualized care from your doctor.
These all add up to better health and improved quality of life.

What is Prevention Worth? What is your Health and Life worth?

A study published by the International Journal of Person Centered Medicine found that the Concierge Doctor model “delivers better preventive care services when compared to national health plans.”

There is an old adage, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. Although prevention may cost you some investment, treating conditions after that fact can cost far more. Heart Disease, as an example, which is the leading cause of death in the U.S., accounts for one out of every four deaths. Treatment for this condition can be very costly. Or if you have had a heart attack, Medicare estimates you will spend 60% more in out of pocket expense than someone who hasn’t, approximately $12,000 per year.  The same falls true of patients with chronic illnesses. Those with type 2 diabetes spend on average 200 percent more than those without and have two and a half times more out-of-pocket costs.

Illness and disease can be very expensive. Not only does this involve weeks or months out of work, but with copays and deductibles, diagnostic and lab testing, emergency room visits, hospital stays, prescriptions and more – illness and disease can cost thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. So, yes, we would say that an ounce of prevention today is probably worth far more than a pound of “cures”. 

In two studies published in the American Journal of Managed Care, those who were under the care of a Concierge Doctor had far fewer ER visits and were admitted to the hospital 70 percent less than those under the care of traditional primary care practices.

One can easily see how medical bills and rapidly escalate, which is why being proactive makes so much more sense.

Investing in your own health might seem unnecessary or a luxury right now. But no one plans for a heart attack or diabetic nerve pain or any other major health issue to strike. The best you can do is to not only live a healthier lifestyle, but to be proactive with diagnostic testing and screenings and wellness programs directed by a medical professional.

Your health is your most valuable asset. Doesn’t it make sense to make this a priority? All of your future plans and goals depend on YOU being there and being healthy.
