Functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions between genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and chronic disease. In this way, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.

Standard blood tests can often come back normal even when a patient feels very unwell. At our centre, we offer more in depth serum, urinary and salivary measurements to provide a more comprehensive representation of functional health status and uncover the source of your problem(s).

More extensive testing may include; organic acid testing for metabolic function, microbiome testing for intestinal health, urinary hormone metabolites for precise hormone balance, zonulin protein for immunological, inflammatory and allergic status, adrenal testing for stress resilience and nutritional testing to name a few.

Live Blood Cell Analysis can be useful for providing 'real time' data to help get an overview of the terrain of the body.

Environmental medicine involves investigating the interactions between a patient and triggers in the environment that cause a poor health response. If left unchecked, exposures can lead to damage and many different diseases such as Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Gastro Intestinal disordersand even high blood pressure to name a few. These triggers may be in air, food, water, hygiene and personal care products and drugs and are commonly sourced from the home and work environment.

The first step is protecting the body from damage, developing a program to excrete accumulated toxins and finally a strategy for avoidance. As the toxic burden in the body begins to reduce, the toxic effect on the cells and tissues lessens and multiple systems begin to function again. With a personalized program, patients often report improved digestion, energy, quality of sleep, sex drive, concentration, mood and muscle stamina.

With a drop of blood drawn painlessly from your finger, this test can provide an amazing amount of information about your health. Live Cell Blood Analysis is simple, quick and accurate.
