A year ago, when I started to experience what I believed were just signs of aging, I had never heard of functional or integrative medicine. If you are like I was then, terms such as allopathic or osteopathic may be foreign to you. But if the military wants to maintain a healthy and ready force, these terms should become part of the normal lexicon and practice of military health care. If you experience difficultly sleeping, joint pains, brain fog, high blood pressure, or any other number of physiological or psychological issues, functional medicine and nutrition may be able to put your body back into a state of overall wellness.
