Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine is an approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of disease. Instead of just treating symptoms, it considers the whole person and uses a personalised, systems-oriented model to promote wellness and prevent chronic illness.

While conventional medicine often focuses on diagnosing and treating specific diseases or symptoms, Functional Medicine looks at the underlying causes, including lifestyle, genetics, and environmental factors, to create a holistic, individualised treatment program.

Functional Medicine can be used to manage chronic conditions such as autoimmune disorders, diabetes, heart disease, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and mental health concerns. It is also effective in optimising overall health and preventing disease.

A Functional Medicine discovery call will enable you to speak to Helen and discuss your concerns and agree on the tests that would benefit you the most. The results of those tests are then presented to you along with a thorough consultation and your personalised treatment program. This usually involves a detailed health history, a review of lifestyle factors like diet and exercise, and possibly advanced lab tests if there are any further unanswered questions.

The timeline for results can vary depending on the individual’s condition, health history, and the complexity of their case. While some may notice improvements within a few weeks, others with chronic conditions might take several months to experience significant changes.

Anyone dealing with chronic health issues, who wants a more personalised approach to healthcare, or who is seeking to optimise their overall well-being can benefit from Functional Medicine. It's particularly helpful for those who have not found relief through conventional methods.
