Functional Medicine

OVERVIEW

Functional Medicine revolves around a holistic, systems-based approach to identify and correct underlying biochemical, nutritional, and environmental imbalances. By combining diagnostic functional testing with targeted interventions (e.g., specialised IV infusions, nutritional protocols, and lifestyle modifications), clients can achieve long-term restoration of health and vitality.

TARGETED CONDITIONS

• Lyme & Mold Exposure
  Diagnostic functional testing and targeted nutritional support address immune dysregulation, mycotoxin exposure, and related toxicity.
• Autoimmune Conditions
  Tailored protocols combine anti-inflammatory diets, detox therapies (e.g., Chelation), and immune-modulating treatments (e.g., Medical Acupuncture).
• Gut Health & Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
  Functional testing (intestinal permeability markers) guides amino acid or probiotic interventions to repair gut lining and reduce inflammation.
• Chronic Fatigue Syndrome & Long COVID
  Targeted IV infusions (e.g., High-Dose Vitamin C, Myers’ Cocktail) help reduce systemic inflammation, boost energy, and support immune function.
• Heavy Metal Toxicity
  Chelation Therapy plus antioxidant support (Alpha Lipoic Acid, Glutathione) for safe detoxification and restoration of metabolic balance.
• Hair Loss & Weight Loss Resistance
  Addresses hormonal imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, and metabolic dysfunction via personalized supplements and health coaching.

KEY BENEFITS

• Root-Cause Resolution
  Identifies and treats the underlying drivers of chronic symptoms, rather than masking them.
• Customised Protocols
  Uses functional lab data to develop patient-specific strategies, ensuring higher efficacy and improved outcomes.
• Enhanced Detoxification
  Chelation, antioxidant infusions, and nutritional optimisation help eliminate toxins and improve organ function.
• Holistic Lifestyle Alignment
  Incorporates dietary changes, targeted supplements, and stress-management techniques to support sustainable wellness.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Session Duration
  Initial consultations often last 60–90 minutes, with follow-up appointments of 30–60 minutes depending on complexity.
• Administration
  May include diagnostic testing (e.g., blood, stool, or urine panels), infusion therapies, acupuncture sessions, and one-on-one coaching.
• Aftercare
  Clients may be advised on dietary modifications, supplement regimens, or additional lab tests to monitor progress. Regular check-ins ensure continuous optimization of protocols.

WHO CAN BENEFIT

• Individuals with Complex Chronic Conditions
  Especially those who’ve tried conventional approaches without significant improvement.
• Detox & Immune-Support Seekers
  People concerned about ongoing toxic exposures, heavy metal burden, or immune dysregulation.
• Those Experiencing Persistent Fatigue or Brain Fog
  Clients aiming to restore energy levels, cognitive clarity, and metabolic balance.
• Lifestyle & Preventive Health Enthusiasts
  Perfect for anyone committed to a proactive, data-driven approach to long-term well-being.

KEY THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES (AVAILABLE)

• Wellness IV Therapies
  (e.g., Myers’ Cocktail, High-Dose Vitamin C) – Rapidly replenishes essential nutrients and antioxidants for improved energy and immune defense.

COMING SOON

• Functional Testing
  A series of advanced diagnostic assessments (biochemical, metabolic, physiological) that reveal hidden imbalances, guiding precise, personalized interventions.
• Medical Acupuncture
  Fine-needle insertion at specific points to reduce pain, modulate immunity, and support stress management.
• Chelation Therapy
  A medical process that binds and removes heavy metals and toxins from the bloodstream, improving detoxification and vascular health.
