The Functional Medicine Consultation is proactive, predictive and personalised:
- Analyses your Genetic Predisposition for certain diseases.
- Includes a thorough Lifestyle assessment.
- Identifies the triggers of your medical problems.
- Addresses the root causes and the triggers of your problems rather that just treating the symptoms.
- Assesses your whole body and not just an isolated set of symptoms.
- Identifies the relationship between your presenting symptoms and other systems in your body therefore predicting and preventing future disease.
- May require functional pathology tests which uncover abnormalities and imbalances not picked up by conventional medicine tests.
- In addition to conventional medicine therapies, it employs diet, supplements and lifestyle changes to restore your body balance.
- The functional medicine treatments are specifically customised and tailored for you. They are not just a “one size fits all” prescription.
Due to its complexity, the initial functional medicine consultation takes at least 45 minutes and patients are advised to book the appropriate length of time. Patients are also advised to bring with them a copy of their previous medical tests.
