Functional medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of chronic health conditions. Rather than treating symptoms, functional medicine practitioners work to uncover the underlying imbalances in the body that are contributing to disease.

At the heart of functional medicine is the belief that each person is unique and that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare. Functional medicine practitioners take a personalized approach to healthcare, considering each patient’s unique genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors.

Functional medicine practitioners use a variety of tools and techniques to identify underlying imbalances in the body, including specialized testing such as comprehensive blood panels, gut health tests, and hormone testing. By analyzing the results of these tests, practitioners can develop targeted treatment plans that address the underlying imbalances in the body.

Functional medicine treatments often involve a combination of dietary and lifestyle changes, nutritional supplements, and targeted therapies. For example, a patient with gut health issues may be prescribed a personalized diet plan that eliminates certain foods and incorporates gut-healing nutrients, probiotics, and digestive enzymes.

Functional medicine can be effective in treating a wide range of chronic health conditions, including autoimmune disorders gastrointestinal issues, hormonal imbalances, and mental health disorders. By taking a personalized and comprehensive approach to healthcare, functional medicine practitioners can help patients achieve long-term improvements in their health and well-being.

In conclusion, functional medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of chronic health conditions. By taking a personalized and comprehensive approach to healthcare, functional medicine practitioners can help patients achieve long-term improvements in their health and well-being. If you’re interested in functional medicine, it’s important to work with a qualified practitioner who can develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Formal Consultation and Blueprint

You’re super serious about your health goals and are eager to see results soon! Perfect!
A formal consultation is the first step in this process.

If you sign up for a formal consultation, you will receive a detailed questionnaire to fill out which I use to create a customised nutrition plan or formalised blueprint for you to follow.

I analyse your answers and the metrics you’ve recorded to define goals, calories, energy balance, macronutrients, deficits and surplus. I look at micro level detailing of your eating habits and patterns and suggest foods to add or delete based on your preferences, via a formalised blueprint.

The Blueprint will also include suggestions for eating frequency, windows and patterns. It will suggest pre and post workout nutrition options and recommend supplementation based on any deficits that show up in your questionnaire. Styles and frequency of training are also recommended.

The goal is to create a sustainable short and long term strategy to ensure you’re always in optimal health.

After creating the blueprint, a consultation call is arranged during which we go through the blueprint together. I explain macros and the role of hormones in overall health and take care of any comments, concerns or questions you may have. Once we’re aligned on the route forward, the Blueprint is sent to you.

This Blueprint will serve as the guide through your transformation journey.
