Why would you need a Functional Medicine Doctor?
If you’ve ever been told “your blood tests are normal” but still feel exhausted, wired, anxious, or completely flat, you’re not imagining it. And you’re definitely not alone.
If you’ve ever been told, “you’re just at that age” and don’t want to accept it, you see others in better health around you who are older and know you deserve better, this will be for you.
If you’ve ever wanted to strive for more, get your body resilient to stress and be able to truly feel energised, focused and yourself again, this will be for you.
Overall…
Functional medicine is for people who:
- Feel like something’s off but can’t get answers
- Are tired of guessing with diets, supplements, and gym plans (to be honest, who has the time to keep guessing and getting nowhere?)
- Want to take control of their health, not just manage symptoms
This approach is useful because it connects the dots. It’s not just about fixing problems. It’s about building a body and brain that keep up with your life and help you thrive under the pressure that life throws at you.
As a Functional Medicine Doctor, I have access to in-depth blood tests, hormone panels, gut health assessments, nutrient deficiency testing, and lifestyle mapping amongst other tests to figure out what’s really going on. Then we build a plan that works around your real life, not just what sounds good on paper but actually works and doesn’t overwhelm you.
Test, don’t guess – where necessary, of course!
What types of conditions can functional medicine help?
The truth is, most chronic health problems are actually connected. Functional medicine helps by addressing the root of the issue, not just silencing it and not just focusing on the symptoms like a lot of western medicine models prioritise.
Here are some common areas I work on with clients:
- Stress and burnout – letting you see the signs and intervene before it costs you in your life
- Insomnia – helping people sleep through the night, even after 20 years of problems and multiple medications
- Obesity and weight plateaus – supporting those who have struggled with weight loss due to multiple reasons but also working alongside those who are using weight loss injections to do it in a healthier, more sustainable manner
- Hormone imbalances (testosterone, andropause, perimenopause, thyroid) – making sure we can lower the severity of symptoms, help the body still produce hormones and thrive at a time when a lot of people just assume your health will suffer
- Mood and mental health (anxiety, low mood, overwhelm) – Helping people support their mental health and see the link between gut health and how we feel
- Digestion and bloating – stopping years of IBS and IBD that some western doctors have said is untreatable and to just ‘stop being so stressed’ (helpful!)
- Mental focus and drive (brain fog, ADHD-type symptoms, forgetfulness) – helping support neurodiversity including ADHD, Autism and more through functional medicine methods
- Productivity and performance for business owners and leaders
- Blood sugar and diabetes prevention
Whether you’re already diagnosed or just feel off and can’t explain it, there’s usually a clear starting point once we dive into the right data.
