Aaron Hartman, MD explains that functional medicine starts with removing health stressors: inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy, poor sleep, and processed foods. Small lifestyle changes often improve health without needing tests, medications, or supplements.

Oftentimes, the very first step in functional medicine practice is to add by subtracting. And what I mean by this is removing those things in your life that are contributing to the problem, better managing your stress, improving your sleep, removing inflammatory foods like gluten and dairy and sugar and processed foods. Trying to make these subtle small changes can be absolutely impactful and transform your health without a lab test or any sort of medical or supplemental intervention.
