The Functional Medicine MD was founded in 2018 by Dr. Lela Iduna – a Yale-trained Medical Doctor and IFM certified functional medicine practitioner with over 25 years of experience in medicine.

In traditional medicine, we determine a diagnosis based on the symptom(s) and match a pill to it. In Functional Medicine, we compare this method to spraying the spots on the leaves of a tree. Conversely, the functional medicine approach looks at the root cause of the disease.

Focusing on the root cause means looking at the “soil” and the “root system”. What is causing the spots on the leaves? Is the soil healthy – filled with nutrients and free from germs and toxins? Are the roots strong and able to absorb the nutrients? When we fix the soil and the root system, we fix the spots on the leaves and don’t need to keep spraying.
