What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a patient-centered approach that focuses on understanding the complex interactions within the body and the influences of lifestyle, environment, and genetics. By addressing the underlying factors that contribute to your health concerns, we aim to restore balance and promote optimal well-being.
Comprehensive Blood and Gut Testing
A vital component of our functional medicine approach is our extensive testing protocol. This may include a comprehensive blood panel of biomarkers and gut microbiome testing to provide a detailed analysis of your health status.
Comprehensive Health Testing
The NutriStat test is a comprehensive nutritional assessment tool designed to evaluate an individual’s nutritional status and identify potential deficiencies. By analysing 240 biomarkers through a simple blood and urine test, NutriStat provides insights into:
- Hormone Levels: Understanding hormonal imbalances can help address issues like fatigue, mood swings, and weight gain.
- Nutritional Deficiencies: We evaluate essential vitamins and minerals to ensure you are getting the nutrients your body needs.
- Inflammation Markers: Identifying inflammation can help us target chronic conditions and optimise your immune function.
- Metabolic Health: We assess your cholesterol, blood sugar, and other metabolic indicators to identify risks for conditions like diabetes and heart disease.
- Heavy Metal Levels: Identifying toxic metal exposure that may contribute to certain health concerns.
- Amino Acid Profile: Understanding protein building blocks, structural components, enzymes, hormones and neurotransmitters.
- Organic Acid Profile: We assess metabolic waste products, detoxification, nutrient metabolism and energy production.
Functional Gut Health Testing
Your gut plays a crucial role in your overall health. Our gut testing includes:
- Microbiome Analysis: We examine the diversity and balance of your gut bacteria, which are essential for digestion, immunity, and even mental health.
- Food Sensitivity Testing: Identifying food sensitivities can help reduce inflammation and digestive discomfort, leading to improved energy levels and overall health.
- Digestive Function Tests: We assess how well your body breaks down and absorbs nutrients, which can affect your energy, mood, and weight.
Personalised Analysis and Recommendations
After reviewing your blood and gut test results, our team will conduct an in-depth analysis to identify key patterns and issues. We will work collaboratively with you to create a customised wellness plan that may include:
- Nutritional Guidance: Personalised dietary recommendations tailored to your specific health requirements.
- Supplement Suggestions: Injectable (IV,IM) and oral supplements designed to address deficiencies and promote healing.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Practical strategies to improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and increase physical activity, all aligned with your individual lifestyle.
