At RENU, our entire philosophy revolves around practitioners and physicians working together to help patients find holistic health. Working together, our conventional and functional doctors collaborate effectively, combining their respective expertise and approaches, in an effort to reduce inflammation in patients.

1. Shared Understanding: Both conventional and functional doctors can benefit from understanding each other’s perspectives and approaches to inflammation. By recognizing the strengths and limitations of each approach, they can develop a mutual respect for the diverse tools and strategies available to address inflammation.
2. Collaborative Treatment Planning: Conventional and functional doctors can collaborate to develop personalized treatment plans that integrate both conventional medical interventions and functional medicine approaches. This may involve combining pharmaceutical treatments with dietary modifications, lifestyle interventions, targeted supplementation, stress management techniques, and other complementary therapies to address the root causes of inflammation.
3. Patient Education: Both types of practitioners can play a role in educating patients about the importance of inflammation management and empowering them to take an active role in their own health. This may include educating patients about the impact of diet, lifestyle, stress and environmental factors on inflammation, while providing guidance on practical strategies for the reduction thereof.
4. Regular Communication: Effective communication between conventional and functional doctors is essential for coordinating patient care and ensuring that treatment plans are aligned and complementary. This may involve regular case discussions, sharing of medical records and test results, and ongoing collaboration to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.
5. Respect for Patient Preferences: It’s important for both conventional and functional doctors to respect the patient’s preferences and values when developing treatment plans. Some patients may prefer a more conventional approach, while others may be interested in exploring functional medicine interventions. By offering patient-centered care and respecting individual preferences, our RENU doctors foster trust and collaboration with their patients.

Through RENU’s collaborative and patient-centered approach, our practitioners are empowered to leverage their respective strengths to reduce inflammation and improve the overall health and well-being of our patients.
