What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a personalised approach to health that looks at the root cause of disease and promotes optimal health, and better lives, not just managing symptoms.

​

By addressing root cause, rather than symptoms, functional medicine treatment looks at how illness affects you specifically and how lifestyle and genetics can affect health, as well as physiological and biochemical changes.

​

Think about it this way; your kitchen is flooding. What do you do: turn off the tap or mop the floor?

Traditional western healthcare mops the floor by masking the symptoms with drugs. Functional medicine goes deeper to find the cause and turns off the tap.

As a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach I am trained in the tools and systems that Institute for Functional Medicine clinical practitioners use, in conjunction with the information and guidance given by your doctor. This enables us to work on your modifiable lifestyle factors to improve your health. You can find out more at www.IFM.org 

As a coach I cannot diagnose any illnesses or prescribe medication, supplements or food plans. We can work together and use my knowledge with your doctors guidance to understand the best way forward for you.

75% of all chronic diseases are caused by lifestyle. It's time to take back your health and happiness.
