Most of the time, when people have a health problem, they come out with a prescription from their GP or consultant that treats the symptoms. So, it might be some iron tablets when they have been tired, Clomid if they are not ovulating or Imodium if they have diarrhoea. This rarely addresses the root cause of their problem.
Through diet and lifestyle advice, Functional Medicine aims to address the root causes of your symptoms to promote long term wellbeing. It’s the medicine of ‘WHY’. Why do you, as an individual, have those particular symptoms?
It recognises that we are all different, have different genetic background, different lifestyle, different health history and different diets. Functional Medicine helps to make sense of those seemingly unrelated symptoms, starting with looking at you as a whole person rather than just looking at what sort of disease you have.
During the consultation, we will review your diet as well as any lifestyle behaviour that could make your condition worse. We will look at the influence of your environment (e.g. toxic load from food or beauty products you are using).
You will get some advice on what foods would be beneficial for you. I will also give advice on which supplements could be helpful as well as recommend some functional tests if appropriate.
