By examination of medical history, pathogen and toxin exposure, environment and lifestyle, diet and nutrition and individual genetic and biochemical factors, this data gives a unique complex picture and informs how to restore wellness.
Using science and evidence based research a Functional Medicine Practitioner works together with the client to target chronic disease, imbalance and dysfunction in the body. Support differs for each client and this is why functional medicine and nutritional therapy is personalised and individual to you.
Functional Medicine is often known as preventative medicine. In fact, I frequently work with clients who want to optimise their future health and pick up on any problems now, which could cause issues a few years down the line. Ill health and chronic illness take time to develop, and by working with a functional medicine nutritional therapist practitioner now, you are minimising the chance of acute illness later in life.
