ABOUT SIMPLIFIED FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

Simplified Functional Medicine was born out of a need to help provide effective, practical solutions for patients struggling with chronic health problems. We provide a streamlined, turn-key solution for providers to plug into their practices. We make it far easier for practitioners to learn, implement and grow a proven functional medicine program. SFM began in 2019 with a mission and vision to provide better, simpler, yet more comprehensive solutions for people struggling with chronic health problems. Since then we have helped over 100 clinics (and growing) throughout the country to better serve their patients and their communities by providing a simple, proven solution for those struggling with chronic health problems. If you're looking for a dense, academic, encyclopedic approach to functional medicine with hundreds of complex testing and supplement protocols, then SFM likely isn't for you. But, if you're wanting real-world training on clinical protocols that actually get great results for patients AND systems that allow you to run a profitable business, then SFM just might be what you're looking for.

SO, WHAT IS SIMPLIFIED FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?
