Functional Medicine & Integrative Health Management

🩺 What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine is a root-cause, systems-based medical approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying causes of disease. It emphasizes personalized care through the integration of advanced testing, nutrition, lifestyle interventions, and stress management to restore balance and optimize health.

🌿 Key Principles of Integrative Health Management

• Prevention-focused: Not just treating illness, but preventing disease through early detection and intervention.

• Personalized Programs: Customized health plans based on genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental factors.

• Mind-body connection: Emphasis on emotional well-being, sleep, gut health, and stress resilience.

• Multidisciplinary care: Collaborative support from physicians, nutritionists, psychologists, fitness coaches, and other experts.

🔬 Common Assessments & Diagnostic Tools

• Functional blood chemistry analysis

• Gut microbiome testing

• Food allergy/sensitivity panels

• Hormone and adrenal function tests

• Nutrigenomic (DNA-based nutrition) analysis

💡 Who Can Benefit?

• Support during cancer recovery

• Long-term stress, anxiety, or sleep disorders

• Menopausal or hormonal imbalance

• Cardiovascular issues (heart disease, hypertension, stroke, post-stroke rehabilitation)

• Autoimmune diseases (allergies, asthma, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis)

• Metabolic syndrome and prediabetes (hyperthyroidism, thyroid nodules, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity-related conditions)

• Liver, gallbladder, and gastrointestinal issues (such as leaky gut syndrome, IBS, irritable bowel syndrome, gastric ulcers, chronic constipation, diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer screening, gut microbiota imbalance, chronic hepatitis, fatty liver, liver cirrhosis)

• Chronic fatigue or low immunity (recurrent infections, urethritis, otitis media, tonsillitis, chronic inflammation)

Integrative Medical Treatments 

Integrative Chinese and Western Medicine

Treat the symptoms in acute cases, treat the root causes in chronic cases.

Integrative Chinese and Western medicine is practiced by combining Western diagnostic and treatment methods with traditional Chinese herbal therapies. The hospital uses scientific Chinese herbal medicines manufactured in cGMP-certified pharmaceutical facilities, ensuring both quality and effectiveness, to provide the best care for patients with chronic conditions such as allergic diseases, autoimmune disorders, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease, menopausal syndromes, and supportive cancer care.

During the acute phase, Western medicine is used for diagnosis and treatment; during the chronic phase, TCM is applied for holistic conditioning. By addressing both symptoms and root causes, this achieves the best possible health outcomes.

Nutritional Therapy

Eat the right nutrients to keep your health at its peak.

Modern dietary habits often result in nutritional imbalances. Although refined diets are common, nutrients can be lost through excessive cooking. In addition, modern farming and animal husbandry practices have reduced the nutritional value of food. Diets high in fat, protein, and calories but lacking in vitamins and minerals have become a burden on health, contributing to obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and fatty liver.

Using precise hair mineral analysis and DNA testing, we evaluate your personal nutritional status and create tailored plans. If there are severe nutritional deficiencies, we develop a personalized prescription along with nutritional supplementation to quickly restore balance, accompanied by nutritional counseling and dietary advice.

Detoxification Therapy

Cleanse the internal environment and keep your body functioning smoothly.

For patients with impaired liver or kidney function, detoxification therapy can accelerate the elimination of toxins and improve their condition. For patients with gut dysbiosis leading to leaky gut syndrome, this therapy can help absorb and remove harmful bacterial metabolites, alleviating related allergic symptoms.

At the same time, binding toxins in the gut can reduce irritation of intestinal cells and help prevent colorectal carcinogenesis. By lowering the burden of toxins on tissues and organs, it helps prevent tissue aging and preserves organ function.

Hormone Therapy

Delay aging and rejuvenate your body.

For both men and women, hormonal changes are among the most significant aspects of aging. When hormone levels decline abnormally, the body can experience various problems and premature aging. Hormone therapy is especially useful for relieving menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, palpitations, night sweats, insomnia, and mood swings.

Although aging is a natural part of life, appropriately supplementing hormones can help delay aging and support a healthy transition through menopause. Our hospital offers the most advanced anti-aging medicine, known as regenerative cellular medicine, aiming to support the regeneration of cells and tissues to slow functional aging.

Antioxidant Therapy

Prevent vascular oxidation and keep blood vessels elastic.

Oxidative stress caused by free radicals is a major contributor to aging. To delay aging, it is essential to eliminate these free radicals generated by metabolism.

The antioxidant "cocktail" therapy activates enzymes in the body, quickly removes free radicals, prevents cell damage, and protects brain function from oxidative stress. This helps delay tissue and organ aging and prevents oxidative damage to the cardiovascular system, maintaining vascular elasticity so you stay energetic and youthful.

Personalized Immune Activation Therapy

Activate your immune system using the most natural and effective preventive medicine.

Immunity represents the body's natural self-healing ability. Thanks to the immune system, we can defend ourselves against pathogens and even tumor formation. To promote human health, it is important to activate and regulate immune function, thereby preventing disease.

As biomedical science progresses, medicine has moved toward personalization. Because of differences in individual genetics, treatment methods cannot be one-size-fits-all. Personalized immune activation therapy adjusts the immune system to effectively manage immune-related diseases and prevent diseases caused by chronic inflammation, including:

• Allergic diseases: allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, urticaria, asthma, gastrointestinal allergies

• Autoimmune diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, scleroderma, Sjögren's syndrome

• Low immunity: recurrent infections, including respiratory, urinary, and gastrointestinal infections

• Prevention of inflammation-related chronic diseases: cardiovascular disease, vascular damage due to diabetes

Energy Medicine

Use modern energy physics for more effective energy balancing.

In addition to chemical composition, life relies on physical energy. Traditional Chinese medicine theories of qi and meridians are essentially a form of energy medicine.
