AUSTIN, Texas, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Robert Rountree, MD, has been honored by receiving the Linus Pauling Functional Medicine Award at the Institute for Functional Medicine's 2015 Annual International Conference, being held May 28-30, 2015 in Austin, Texas. Dr. Rountree receives this award for his pioneering work in the development of Functional Medicine, and for his role as a highly inspirational and informational member of IFM's faculty. Dr. Rountree has provided his unique combination of traditional family medicine, nutrition, herbology, and mind-body therapy in Boulder, CO, since 1983. He has recently opened Boulder Wellcare, a private practice specializing in individual healthcare consulting. The Linus Pauling Award has been presented by the Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) since 1996 to clinicians and researchers whose work has pioneered important principles in the Functional Medicine model. IFM President Emeritus David Jones, MD has this to say about Dr. Rountree's selection as the 2015 Linus Pauling Functional Medicine Award recipient: "Dr. Rountree has been an enduring and creative force in the development of the IFM educational programs for both applying and teaching a 21st-century clinical medicine and curriculum. His input, curriculum ideas, and mentoring have significantly impacted IFM's certification program graduates to better serve their patients suffering with chronic, complex medical illnesses as well as advising them in their pursuit of health." Dr. Rountree's work has furthered the shift in medicine from an organ system paradigm to a systems-medicine approach and has helped to evolve Functional Medicine's clinical and patient-driven approach for prevention and comprehensive treatment of chronic, complex disease. IFM is excited to announce a free live stream opportunity for Dr. Rountree's lecture, Toxins and Illness: Paranoid Fantasy or Legitimate Threat?, which will take place on Saturday, July 11, 2015, starting at 7:00 pm Central.
