Functional Medicine Has Naturopathic Roots
The core ideas behind functional medicine, treating the whole person, finding root causes, and focusing on prevention, have long been at the heart of naturopathic medicine.
Naturopathic leaders helped shape the field. Dr. Joseph Pizzorno, ND, founding president of Bastyr University, has served on the board of the Institute for Functional Medicine since 2001. When you see one of our naturopathic doctors, you are working with a provider trained in these principles from day one.
