FAQ
Common questions
Is functional health evidence-based?
The research is growing but incomplete. The individual pillars — sleep, nutrition, movement, stress management — are strongly supported. What lacks large trials is the packaged, personalized functional model. Early studies report good satisfaction and lifestyle improvements. Use it to support healthy habits, not to replace medical diagnosis or treatment.
