Functional medicine

Understanding imbalances to act on root causes

At OVI CLINIC, functional medicine is an integral part of our vision: to go beyond the treatment of symptoms to identify and correct the underlying physiological mechanisms.

This discipline views the body as an integrated system, in which metabolism, digestion, immunity, hormonal balance and the nervous system constantly interact. When one of these systems malfunctions, the overall balance can be compromised.

Functional medicine analyzes the interactions between genetics, environment, microbiota, nutrition, lifestyle and psycho-cognitive balance. It restores homeostasis (physiological equilibrium) and prevents the onset of chronic disease.
Each treatment is personalized and evidence-based, integrated into a clear, structured care pathway.

Frequent reasons for consultation

Proposed assessments

Our functional assessments are designed to explore the major physiological systems in depth:

Metabolic balances
Hormone tests
Digestive tract tests
Immunizations
Micronutritional assessments
Nutrigenetic balances

Therapeutic approach

At OVI CLINIC, functional medicine is based on comprehensive, personalized care that combines :

Nutritional correction and micronutrition: adjusting food intake to specific needs.
Targeted supplements: vitamins, minerals, fatty acids or antioxidants validated by check-ups.
Digestive and microbiota rebalancing: restoring the intestinal ecosystem and reducing inflammation.
Hormonal and metabolic optimization: correction of imbalances impacting energy, weight and vitality.
Stress and sleep management: integration of mind-body approaches and personalized advice.
Lifestyle: physical activity, adapted biological rhythms and healthy living.

The aim is to restore a deep physiological balance, reduce the burden of chronic disorders and sustainably improve quality of life.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between functional medicine and integrative medicine?

Functional medicine focuses on the analysis and correction of underlying physiological disorders. Integrative medicine combines conventional medicine with validated complementary approaches. At OVI CLINIC, these two approaches are complementary and inseparable.

Is functional medicine scientifically validated?

Yes, based on data from physiology, molecular biology, immunology and clinical nutrition, with evidence-based medicine protocols.

Who can benefit from functional medicine?

For anyone suffering from persistent symptoms, digestive, metabolic or hormonal disorders, chronic fatigue, widespread pain, or wishing to prevent chronic illness and maintain long-term health.
