Introduction to Functional Medicine
WHAT DOES GOOD HEALTH MEAN TO YOU? For a long time, many aspects of wellness were anchored in physical appearance alone. We now realize that, to achieve your potential, we need to pursue an integrated approach that incorporates all aspects of our wellbeing - physical, mental and emotional. Mental
| Living your life with a sense of purpose, clarity and focus.
Emotional | Knowing how to run your brain for emotional intelligence and a positive sense of self. Physical
| Transforming your body through fitness, while protecting your body through health.
Pioneering research into the biology of aging has shown that human beings have a life capacity of about 125 years, a potential that comes down to our genetics, environment and lifestyle. While we cannot change our genetics, we can change the way they are expressed. This is called “epigenetics,� and it is where Functional Medicine can make such a difference.

What is Functional Medicine
WHAT EXACTLY IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE? How good would it feel to know that the exercise program you are using, the diet plan you are following, and the supplements you are taking are perfectly geared toward the needs of your body? That is where Functional Medicine is so powerful. Each of us is different, and your program needs to reflect that. Instead of hoping that what you are doing is right for you, Albany has partnered with 360 Health & Performance to utilize advanced diagnostic laboratory assessments and other pioneering tools to ensure you have a truly customized blueprint to follow. Functional Medicine is a highly proactive approach to health. It addresses the underlying mechanisms that drive chronic health issues, rather than just the symptoms they create. By looking at the body as a series of systems and supporting those under the greatest stress, it is possible to balance body chemistry and keep you looking and feeling your best.

Effective Functional Medicine
“Having worked with the team behind 360 Health & Performance for the last three years, I’m testament to the fact that their information works. I’ve gone from 63 in the world to a personal best of three in the world this year – and their cutting-edge information played a central role in that. It’s a genuine privilege to work with them.” - Justin Rose, Professional Golfer & 2013 US Open Champion
WHAT WE OFFER: PROVEN RESULTS With our history in professional sport, 360 Health & Performance gives you direct access to some of the brightest minds in the field of health. Our program is results-driven. And a myriad of top-level executives from global banking corporations and insurance companies to the internet’s most popular search engine can attest to that. The research behind what we do is complex. The solutions we offer are simple. We believe wellness plays a central role in helping you thrive. Telling people to eat better and exercise more just isn’t good enough, especially when there are no useful metrics in place to measure the effectiveness of a program. Here, you don’t just get to understand the foundations of peak performance, but how it relates to your current physiology. Once you understand why you feel the way you do on a day-to-day basis, making change becomes much easier because you know what’s driving your energy, what you can do about it, and how the tools we provide directly improve your health, productivity and longevity. Everything we do is entirely evidence-based. And because we use powerful metrics from the very start, you can directly track the effectiveness and value of our work together.
Your best health is in reach. Achieving it starts here.
