Actual society, which has a lot of external stimulations, causes a biologic disorder, like an immundeficiency, menstrual alterations, digestives disorders, tiredness or other symptoms of stress. An imbalance fuction, which is not diagnosed and treated, could lead to an illness like obesity, hypertension, high levels of cholesterol and uric acid, depression, anxiety, insomnia, higher prevalence of infections, muscular and articular pain, migraine or headache, or skin, hair and nails disorders.

The functional medicine unit prevents the evolution of the biologic disorders to illness. The nutrition, the balance education of attitudes and the behaviours, the regulation of biologics rithms and the intake of oligoelements, are some of the terapies that our unit practices.
