Your Health Journey Starts Here

Functional medicine seeks to identify the root causes behind why your body may not be functioning optimally. Your body in fact has send you myriads of messages, yet most of us have not learned how to listen to our bodies. That is where we start! As a functional medicine practitioner I am a health detective and I need your help to gather detailed information.

We’ve designed detailed intake forms for you to complete before your visit with us. We understand that it may take some time, but this will allow you to reflect on your past medical history and your current health concerns that led you to seek our assistance. Having all this information documented will be beneficial when you arrive, and we’ll go over it together during your medical or nutrition consultation. We’ve found that many clients find it challenging to recall everything while sitting in front of us!

Health is not just one part of your life—it’s the sum of all parts. In your first visit, we take a deep dive into every aspect of your health and lifestyle, along with your medical and family history.

This initial visit also includes a detailed review of lifestyle factors that impact your health, such as stress, sleep, digestion, hormone balance, immune function, environmental influences, and more.

By the end, I will have a comprehensive understanding of you and the key factors that shape your well-being. This foundational insight (your life and history!) guides the path toward your best health possible.

To identify the underlying causes of illness, we employ functional lab testing, including gut function and microbiome analysis, hormone assessments, inflammatory markers, nutrient evaluations, genetic tests, and food sensitivity or allergy tests. We also incorporate traditional blood tests. You and I will collaborate to develop a testing plan tailored to your specific needs. I don’t believe in unnecessary testing.

During your second appointment, your practitioner will discuss your test results with you and provide you with your Personalized Program, which will include:

• A tailored nutrition plan
• Treatment options addressing the root causes and functional imbalances identified through testing
• Clinically relevant supportive nutrients
• Significant lifestyle changes designed to complement your personalized treatment plan and support your health goals and challenges.

As a functional medicine practitioner, it’s essential to collaborate closely with your GP and other specialists involved in your care to ensure a comprehensive and cohesive treatment approach. Open communication allows for the integration of conventional and functional medicine, leading to a more personalized treatment plan that addresses root causes and optimizes health outcomes. By sharing relevant information, we can avoid duplication of tests, reduce the risk of medication conflicts, and better monitor your progress. This collaborative effort ensures that all aspects of your health are considered, providing a well-rounded, effective approach to your care and wellness journey.

We are working on care packages to offer continuous support to help you achieve your health goals. This includes a 45-minute nutrition consultation where you’ll learn how to apply the personalized nutrition plan created by your practitioner, based entirely on your lab results and nutrition history.

Staying on track is key to getting healthy! In your 45-minute session with our Health Coach, you’ll receive tailored guidance and support for implementing therapeutic plans, overcoming obstacles, and managing the daily challenges that come up as you work toward better health.
