Functional Medicine and Nutrition
I combine clinical experience and personalised root cause solutions to address complex health challenges which include mould toxicity, long covid, brain congnitive decline, histamine, mast cell activation and “mystery illness”, to find answers when conventional medicine falls short.
Functional medicine is a holistic, patient-focused, science-based, collaborative approach to health that looks at the origins and the underlying causes of the illness and symptoms. It is a comprehensive approach that emphasizes not just restoring health, but also preventing disease in the first place.
Functional medicine looks at patterns that are present in our whole system. It’s the approach that connects the dots between all the things that are going out of balance within our biology.
Using naturopathy and functional medicine together creates an optimal approach to looking at the person as a whole.
Investigating and understanding how the different biological systems work, and how they are all interlinked, allows me to identify and address the cause of the problem, rather than managing and masking symptoms.
Health, Nutrition & Functional Lab Testing
As a clinic we offer a full range of health, nutrition and functional lab testing, that assists me in identifying and understanding the root cause of your health complaints and challenges.
The following systems are used in clinic
-
- NES Health
- Neural Chek
The root cause of any health complaint is specific to the individual and based on multiple factors such as genetics, diet, lifestyle, toxicity exposure and psychological and physical stress. Functional testing enables me to understand all these factors, so I can identify the drivers efficiently and effectively.
I’ve carefully selected the most advanced testing from specialist labs across the world, enabling me to provide an analysis and identificaiton based on evidence based research/science. Advance lab testing is able to pick up disturbances in physiological functioning that conventional tests miss – because they’re either not sensitive enough or not looking for it.
As a clinic we can offer the following tests to be completed at home, which will include a telephone consultation to interpret the results.
- Hormonal – male and female
- SIBO
- Thyroid
- Parasitical, Bacterial and Fungal
- GI function testing
- IGG – Food sensitivity
- Organic Acid – OATS
- Adrenal
- Mould – Mycotoxins
- MarCons
- Environmental Toxins
- Hair Mineral Analysis
- Vitamin D levels
- DNA
Neural Chek
8 Reasons Why Neural Chek is an Important Tool
- It gives a baseline of where the important regulatory systems are at, their interconnectivity and how they are functioning to maintain health.
- It is patient friendly with easy to interpret with visual charts and graphs so you can tell where you are and what you need to do to improve.
- Shows an invaluable amount of information on how your autonomic nervous system is functioning or if you have your central nervous system trying to do all the work. Which it is not designed to do and can be causing more stress to your body.
- The scan has a stress index that will give you an opportunity to see something that has been invisible to you. This index will show you how hard the nervous system of the body has to work to achieve balance with information on how improve your adaptive capabilities.
- The scan will allow you to see your actual celluar age vs your biological age. This will allow you to see if you’re prematurely aging or reversing the aging process.
- You will be able to see where your energy levels are and be given solutions on how you can boost your energy and metabolism through simple lifestyle changes.
- Easy to apply and only takes five minutes to administer and reports can be printed or e-mailed.
- Results between successive tests are easy to visualize for comparison of improvement.
