Treatment Approach
A functional medicine approach will mean our treatment protocols vary with each patient, as every patient will have different root causes and our experienced functional medicine practitioners will work with you to identify your goals and then help identify what is causing the dysfunction or barriers to optimizing health.
We will be able to utilise some functional testing to better understand your current symptoms and health challenges and develop a treatment plan to restore hormonal balance, ease symptoms, and restore vitality. Treatment can include a combination of nutrition, some lifestyle modifications (stress management and sleep hygiene), and targeted supplementation in conjunction with the use of hormone replacement therapy, if needed.
Our Approach to Women's Health
Disruptions to our digestive system can trigger various undesirable symptoms. As we grow older, our capacity to absorb nutrients diminishes. Any malfunction in this process can result in a range of problems related to detoxification and nutritional deficiencies.
Based on the specific condition, your healthcare provider may suggest tailored supplements, including those designed specifically for women. These supplements aim to bolster the body, address deficiencies, optimize detoxification pathways, and improve the functioning of the liver and adrenal glands—common contributors to imbalances in women’s health
Our approach is guided by the principle of testing instead of guessing, proving to be more efficient and cost-effective in the long term. Our functional medicine practitioners may advise targeted tests focused on hormone health, such as the adrenal stress profile or the Dutch test.
Our practitioners can suggest additional treatments or lifestyle interventions with demonstrated effectiveness to assist you in overcoming specific condition
