WHY FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

Mainstream medicine traditionally views an individual as a passive recipient in a “fix-me” mode with their health practitioner. Based on an acute care model formed around the diagnosis of the disease, treatment is aimed at suppression of symptoms. This does not address the root causes and can often lead to a spiral of adverse effects.

Functional medicine questions how and why illness occurs with the goal of understanding the origins, prevention and treatment of chronic disease for each individual.   By personalising lifestyle, nutritional and environmental factors, a practitioner can hone in on key triggers that directly impact an individual’s gene expression.

It also places the individual at the centre of the narrative to be an active participant of their health journey in partnership with their practitioner, ultimately empowering them to achieve and maintain their health goals.

Keeping up with the changing landscape of health

Healthcare is increasingly digital​

People want ease of access and more people are accessing healthcare over the internet than ever before. We provide practitioners the tools they need to support clients remotely.

Toxicity is at an all time high

Environmental toxins build up in the body, causing harm. With the growing toxic burden comes more complex, chronic health conditions.

Complex health conditions are the rise

The root causes of chronic health conditions can be difficult to pinpoint. State-of-the-art, science-backed diagnostics and treatment options can highlight foundational health concerns and treat them effectively.

Individuality matters​​

The one-size-fits-all model of allopathic medicine doesn’t fit well into people’s lives. They want solutions that will work for them.
