Functional Medicine — Taking an integrative approach to identify the root causes of disease, treating the underlying causes rather than merely addressing symptoms, offering a new mindset and practical guidelines for modern medicine.

Functional medicine transforms the traditional disease-centered medical model into a patient-centered approach to health care, integrating various medical systems with a focus on the person as a whole, rather than treating only symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners spend more time understanding the patient, listening to their history, and evaluating the complex interactions among genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors — which may seem subtle but have a significant impact on health and complex chronic diseases over time. Therefore, functional medicine emphasizes personalized precision medicine, supports the restoration of bodily functions, promotes non-pharmacological disease prevention, and encourages incorporating healthy practices into daily life to restore optimal function.

Functional medicine is human-centered, valuing holistic health — encompassing physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being and recovery — and integrates preventive medicine, nutritional medicine, lifestyle medicine, sleep medicine, and other extended therapies to achieve longevity and a healthier life.

功能醫學—從整合角度出發，找出疾病的根源，治療病因而非症狀，提供醫學新思維與實踐方針

功能醫學將傳統醫學以疾病為中心的醫療模式，轉換為以病人為中心的健康照護，並全方位整合其他醫療模式，注重以人為本而非僅是症狀治療而已。在功能醫學療程中，將花更多時間瞭解患者、傾聽過去歷史，審視基因與環境、生活習性的相互關聯性，這些看似不起眼，但長期下來對健康與複雜慢性疾病的影響極大。因此，功能醫學強調個人化精準醫療，並重視身體功能恢復，無藥療法預防疾病及融合於生活中讓身體恢復健康機能。

功能醫學以人為中心，重視人的整體性，包括生理、心理、社會、精神多方面的健康和康復，並整合融入預防醫學、營養醫學、生活型態醫學、睡眠醫學等多重療法的延伸運用，來達到延長壽命及健康生活的目的。

Integrative Medicine — Sleep Medicine: A large body of research has shown the benefits of getting good sleep every day, including its impact on immune cells such as T cells. These immune cells help fight intracellular pathogens. 

German sleep experts compared T cells during sleep and wakefulness and found that the level of activated integrins in T cells was higher during sleep than while awake, demonstrating sleep's ability to improve T-cell immune function. In addition, clinical studies have shown that people with poor sleep quality or insufficient sleep are more likely to get sick after being exposed to a virus.

During nighttime sleep, the immune system operates to protect and maintain the body appropriately, because after falling asleep, the secretion of hormones such as growth hormone, prolactin, and melatonin increases, collectively promoting the growth and differentiation of immune cells.

On the other hand, while asleep, the secretion of cortisol and epinephrine is reduced. However, if sleep quality is poor, these hormones may continue to be released, potentially suppressing the proper functioning of T cells and thus reducing immune performance. Long-term fatigue and insomnia can lead to an imbalance of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system function, hormonal dysregulation, and disruption of the immune system. If sleep problems occur, it is recommended to consult a sleep medicine specialist as soon as possible, because healthy sleep is more effective and safer than any supplement or medication.

Sleep Disorders and Stress Management

Sleep problems have become a modern health epidemic. Insufficient sleep time and poor sleep quality increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, weakened immunity, and mental illnesses. Therefore, achieving a full night of restorative sleep has become a critical need for most people.

Using specialized functional tests and scientific diagnostic equipment as the basis, along with professional, evidence-based, non-pharmacological therapies, integrative medicine can help clients who suffer from poor sleep quality or stress-related sleep disturbances to effectively resolve their sleep concerns.

Sleep Testing and Analysis

Through a two-stage sleep testing and analysis device, physicians can more precisely assess your actual sleep quality and determine whether you have obstructive sleep apnea and its severity. This allows for early prevention and more accurate treatment.

Recommendations for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Improvement, Medical Procedures, and Referrals

For clients with varying degrees of obstructive sleep apnea, professional recommendations, surgical evaluation and treatment, or referral services to major medical centers will be provided to ensure effective and comprehensive care.

整合醫學—睡眠醫學：大量研究報告顯示天天睡好覺的益處，可以改善免疫細胞，例如T細胞。T細胞這一類免疫細胞，可對抗細胞內病原體，當體內的細胞識別出病毒感染的細胞時，它們會激活整合素（一種粘性蛋白），然後使其附著並殺死被感染的細胞。

德國睡眠專家，比較睡眠和清醒的T細胞，結果發現睡眠中的T細胞的激活整合素的水平高於清醒時，顯示睡眠具有改善T(免疫)細胞功能的能力。此外，臨床研究結果也顯示，睡眠品質差及睡眠時間不足的人，在接觸病毒後更容易生病，另外研究人員也發現，睡眠效率比較高的人，也比較不容易感冒。夜間睡眠時免疫系統運作，對身體適當的保護並進行維護，因為夜晚睡著後生長激素（growth hormone）、泌乳素（prolactin）與褪黑激素（melatonin）等荷爾蒙分泌量會上升，共同作用促進免疫細胞生長與分化。

另一方面，睡著時會減少分泌腎上腺皮質醇（cortisol）與腎上腺素（epinephine），但睡眠差時這類荷爾蒙會持續分泌，可能會抑制T(免疫)細胞有效發揮作用的能力，會降低免疫功能。長期疲勞失眠會導致交感與副交感神經作用失調，賀爾蒙分泌異常，免疫系統大亂。因此充足的睡眠及良好睡眠，可以增加人體的免疫細胞，這兩種細胞是免疫力的主要來源，一旦發現有睡眠問題應該盡快求助睡眠專科醫師，健康的睡眠比吃任何保健食品或藥物都來得更有效且安全。

睡眠障礙與心理壓力調理
