While both integrative and functional medicine aim to treat the whole person, they differ in their approach. Integrative medicine combines Western medicine with alternative therapies but may not always focus on finding the root cause of a condition. Functional medicine, on the other hand, is rooted in identifying and treating the root cause of diseases. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health provides a detailed explanation of integrative medicine.
