What is Functional Medicine?

How Functional Medicine Works

Functional Medicine combines modern science with a holistic perspective. By considering genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, and environmental factors, we create a comprehensive picture of your health. This allows us to develop a tailored plan designed specifically for you. Our approach often includes:

 

  • Personalised Nutrition Plans – Targeted guidance to fuel your body and support healing.

  • Lifestyle and Stress Management – Practical strategies to improve sleep, energy, and mental wellbeing.

  • Targeted Supplements – Evidence-based nutrients to correct deficiencies and support your body’s natural functions.

  • Detoxification Support – Gentle methods to reduce your body’s toxic load and support organ health.

  • Genetic Insights – Understanding your unique predispositions to guide personalised interventions.

How Functional Medicine Helps Patients

Functional Medicine empowers you to take control of your health. By addressing the root cause of your symptoms rather than just masking them, it can help with a wide range of issues, including:

​

    •    Chronic fatigue and low energy

    •    Digestive problems

    •    Hormonal imbalances

    •    Stress-related conditions

    •    Inflammation and autoimmune concerns

    •    Unexplained or ongoing symptoms

 

Through deep-dive assessments, one-on-one consultations, and ongoing support, we provide clarity and actionable solutions. The goal is not just to treat symptoms, but to improve your overall health, vitality, and quality of life.

Conventional v Functional Medicine

Perhaps the most important difference between functional medicine and conventional healthcare is the understanding that diseases and chronic symptoms can be inherently reversed, rather than simply managed. Functional medicine practitioners take a ‘root cause’ approach to chronic disease. Finding out “the why” about person’s disease can help bring about resolution, or greatly stop the progression.

​

Functional medicine considers the very environment around you. The people, places and things we are surrounded by on a daily basis and how this can impact our health.

​

While conventional healthcare focuses on treating or managing symptoms, often with medication or short-term solutions, Functional medicine looks deeper to find the root cause of illness and restore balance, eliminating symptoms altogether.
