Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine seeks to identify & address the root causes of disease conditions, and views the body as one integrated system, rather than a collection of independent organs. It treats the whole system, not just the symptoms. Functional Medicine addresses the person, personalising to your own individual needs & requirements. This is the future of medicine & it is happening now.
Functional Approach
Using a science evidence based approach to review all areas of health has proven to be effective and the future of medicine. A 'one-fit' approach which is typical of most diet & lifestyle plans does not take into account the individual and so often only produces short term results. The term used to describe this method of working is Functional Medicine, a whole holistic approach.
Functional Diagnostic
Diagnostic Testing (test at a lab) is one method of assessing a patients health status, what is happening at this moment in time in the body. Together with food & lifestyle it can be used as a guide in helping to predict the likelihood of a system that is perhaps not working quite so well and further action is required. Today’s world is about optimal health, what can we do now to maintain good health now.
Types of testing: Food Intolerance, Imbalance bacteria, pathogens (leading to infection), sugar imbalance, vitamins & minerals & more.
Diagnostic testing can involve blood, urine or stool samples and I have access to some of the most advanced tests worldwide, more than your local GP.
