December 2019 – Food for Thought – The Functional Medicine Model: A New Study Marks a New Era Do public health guidelines for nutrition change habits and improve patient outcomes? Researchers have been taking a close look at the data related to these types of initiatives and they have found them to be lacking in impact. But these same researchers have a reason to be optimistic: new biometric technologies—those that use functional biometric measures not to determine disease risk but to develop personalized health strategies—are proving to represent a promising opportunity for the application of precision nutrition and medicine. Is this a model that is ready for the clinic? Yes! The Functional Medicine community marked a milestone on October 25, 2019 when the results of a very important study were published in JAMA Network Open. The title of the article is “Association of the Functional Medicine Model of Care With Patient-Reported Health-Related Quality-of-Life Outcomes,” and Dr. Jeff Bland is pleased to tell you more about it in this month’s episode of Food for Thought.
