Dr. Shalini Bhat - Functional Medicine

 
Dr. Shalini Bhat is the owner of the Movement Boutique, a clinic with programs designed to help people achieve optimal health and wellness through moving, feeling and looking better – through functional medicine. She holds degrees in Kinesiology (University of Western Ontario) and Chiropractic (Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto) as well as certifications in Acupuncture (McMaster University) and Functional Medicine (Northwestern University). She has ten years in practice.
 
Dr. Bhat spoke about the challenges faced by our current medical system. In her opinion, many doctors are under pressure to reduce expenses, rushed, and often focus on treating the symptoms, rather than the underlying causes, of illnesses. Functional medicine is an alternative treatment that takes a whole body approached to diagnosing and treating ailments. It focuses correcting issues that are believed to be the cause of many illnesses. This may include stress, diet, and environment.
