Is this functional oncology?
Metabolic oncology and health optimization medicine is similar to functional oncology in its:
- Focus on the root cause of disease
- Detailed laboratory analysis
- Focus on lifestyle factors and supplements
How We Differ
Our approach relies less extensively on the use of supplements and “repurposed medications”, although both are used selectively in settings where evidence supports it.
We emphasize:
- Data-driven decision making with objective measurements
- Evidence-informed interventions
- Collaboration with traditional oncology teams
- Comprehensive lifestyle optimization as the foundation
Our Focus
While functional medicine often emphasizes identifying and treating specific imbalances, our approach focuses more broadly on optimizing overall metabolic health through the “four pillars”: nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management.
