Do You Need a Change?
Most doctors can only ever minimise your misery, prescribing you a pill to pop to only silence a symptom and ignore the root of the problems manifesting themselves through medical problems.
Chronic disease is a message from within saying something needs to change.
We are more than just a bunch of cells – every part of us is so intricately linked together and this is why you need to treat yourself on every level of your human experience.
What is Functional Medicine?
Traditional medicine only focuses on treating symptoms, diagnosing physiological issues, and minimising misery but functional medicine brings together every aspect of our existence and treats you as a whole.
Together, we look at the:
- Air you breathe;
- Water you drink;
- Food you consume;
- Toxins in your environment;
- Amount you exercise;
- Psychological, spiritual, and social factors that influence your life;
- Genetic makeup of your DNA.
With all the knowledge we gain, you will end up with a personalised lifestyle treatment programme specifically designed just for you.

Multiple factors are considered
Environmental Elements
Air, Water, Food, Toxins and Traumas have all had a significant and often unidentified impact on your health. When environmental factors cause imbalance in your system, this leads to symptoms – which can result in disease in not corrected.
Mind-Body Connection
Factors such as your Psychological, Physiological, Spiritual and Social make-up will impact the way a functional medical practitioner will assess your health, and allows for a treatment plan which considers you as a human being, not just a list of symptoms.
Your Genetics
It has always been thought that your DNA was the blueprint for your life and there was no changing it. However recent research is showing a different idea … that your environment, belief system and attitude, as well as your experiences may change the way your genes are activated and expressed.
