As part of the functional medicine approach to addressing the whole person, Tendwell practitioners pay close attention overall nutrition. Incorporating functional foods can make a tremendous difference to overall health. In this functional medicine blog, we focus on one potential change that is easy to make: eating more wild-caught salmon as part of a healthy approach to food.

In our functional medicine office, we often include recommendations in our personalized health plans to improve the quality of food our patients take in. One emerging area that we have been looking into is to source foods from facilities that engage in regenerative farming. Regenerative farming is a holistic approach to farming that focuses on building healthy soils and ecosystems, rather than just maximizing yields or profits. It dovetails nicely with the kind of holistic and integrative healthcare we practice at Tendwell.
