What Is Functional Medicine?

 

Functional medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on the root cause of chronic disease. It is a whole-person, systems-oriented approach that looks at the interactions between the environment and the patient’s genetic makeup. 

Functional medicine practitioners use a variety of tools to assess the body’s systems and understand how they are interconnected. They then develop individualised treatment plans that address the underlying cause of disease.

Here's How I Can Help YOU!

Step 1: Comprehensive Assessments: I begin by conducting thorough assessments to gain a deep understanding of your health history, current symptoms, and lifestyle factors. This helps me identify any underlying imbalances or root causes contributing to your health concerns.

Step 2: Individualised Nutrition Plans: Based on your assessment results, I develop personalised nutrition plans that optimise your dietary choices to support healing, manage inflammation, and promote overall wellness. We focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods and may recommend specific dietary modifications based on your unique needs.

Step 3: Lifestyle Recommendations: In addition to nutrition, I guide you in making positive lifestyle changes. This may include stress management techniques, sleep optimization strategies, exercise recommendations, and suggestions for incorporating mindfulness practices into your daily routine.

Step 4: Functional Medicine Approach: I follow a functional medicine approach, which emphasises the integration of conventional medicine with evidence-based complementary therapies. I explore various factors, such as gut health, hormonal balance, immune system function, and detoxification, to develop a holistic understanding of your health.

Step 5: Ongoing Support: I believe in building a collaborative relationship with my clients. I provide ongoing support, monitoring your progress, and adjusting your plan as needed. I empower you with the knowledge and tools necessary to take control of your health and make sustainable changes.

If you are seeking guidance in establishing a healing diet and lifestyle, I am here to assist you. I am committed to helping you achieve optimal health and well-being through personalised care and a comprehensive functional medicine approach.
