What is Functional Medicine?
Science based
Functional Medicine is a science based, individualized, patient centered approach that addresses the root cause of illness by asking how and why the illness occurred, rebalances the body’s core physiological processes and restores health. It is a science of creating health, not just a mere treatment model.
Systems Based
Functional medicine treats the whole system, not just the symptoms; the whole organism, not just the organs. It reviews the genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that influence long-term health and complex chronic diseases.It uses low-risk interventions that modify molecular and cellular systems to reverse the drivers of disease.
Shift in thinking
Functional Medicine shifts the disease-centered focus of conventional medicine to a patient-centered approach. It looks at the story of YOU as an individual, not just the average.It examines the journey to your disease rather than just naming and blaming.It helps in rethinking the disease, rethinking medicine and helps people achieve vibrant health.

The idea of Saffron Health emerged from my desire of offering more to my patients who have consistently shown me love and to do my part in bringing positive change in the health of the community.I have a strong personal belief that health care should be more than just a “pill for the ill”. Rather, it should promote healthy living through long-lasting lifestyle changes.
The functional medicine training that I received brought about a radical change in my way of thinking about health and diseases. It allows me to look at a person’s journey to the disease rather than just naming and blaming, and to look at the story of YOU as an individual rather than the story of the average. It brought a shift from disease centered focus of conventional practice to a patient centered approach. It taught me to look beyond the symptoms into genetic, environmental and various lifestyle factors to have long-lasting effects on a person’s well-being. It helps realize my dream of bringing true change in people’s lives and guiding them on the path to excitement, effervescence and enthusiasm for health, which is priceless.
