At Aslan Health, we are passionate about caring for the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. That’s why our approach, known as Whole Person Care, resonates deeply with many of the principles found in functional medicine.
While Aslan Health is not a functional medicine clinic in the traditional sense, we share much of the same heart: digging deeper to uncover root causes, personalizing care, and treating people — not just symptoms.
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a patient-centered, systems-oriented approach to healthcare that seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease. Rather than simply treating symptoms, it explores how various factors — genetics, environment, lifestyle, and spiritual well-being — contribute to health challenges.
How Whole Person Care at Aslan Health Mirrors Functional Medicine
Though we operate through a faith-based lens, many aspects of functional medicine are reflected in our Whole Person Care model:
1. Root Cause Focus
Functional medicine aims to find the “why” behind illness. At Aslan Health, we do the same — exploring not just what is wrong, but what led to it. Is it poor nutrition? Chronic stress? Lack of supportive relationships? We ask these questions with compassion and curiosity, not judgment.
2. Personalized Care
No two people are alike. That’s why we tailor our care to meet each person’s unique needs, just like functional medicine practitioners. Our Model of Healthy Living framework helps patients consider how faith, movement, nutrition, emotional health, work life, and relationships all interact.
3. Prevention and Lifestyle
Functional medicine emphasizes lifestyle changes as powerful tools for preventing and reversing illness. At Aslan Health, we wholeheartedly agree. We help patients set achievable goals around food, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction — all through the lens of God’s design for our bodies.
4. Collaboration and Empowerment
In both functional medicine and Whole Person Care, the provider-patient relationship is a partnership. We work alongside our patients, empowering them with education, encouragement, and support as they move toward lasting health.
5. Faith Integration
Here’s where we go one step further. While functional medicine addresses the physical and emotional, we also care deeply for the spiritual. At Aslan Health, we believe true healing is holistic and flows from the love of Christ. We invite patients to explore that healing — not just through lab results and care plans, but through prayer, Scripture, and hope.
A Better Way Forward
Aslan Health exists to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and to demonstrate His love through affordable, quality care. Whole Person Care isn’t just a method — it’s a ministry. And like functional medicine, it reminds us that health isn’t found in a quick fix, but in the patient, persistent work of restoration.
