about our functional medicine
why root cause healthcare matters
If you do nothing about your health symptoms today, are you simply hoping for the best outcome tomorrow?
feeling great starts by rooting out the cause.
When your gut and metabolism are out of balance, it shows up as pain, inflammation, brain fog, and weight struggles.
However, gut issues are often misunderstood or treated incorrectly. Here’s why.
Gut issues are complex, and we need to zoom out to take a look at the bigger picture. What’s not working, why is it not working, and what are the lifestyle or diet triggers.
In some cases, gut issues didn’t even start in the gut, but started with:
Hormonal imbalances and thyroid dysfunction
Neurotransmitter deficiencies (e.g., dopamine, serotonin)
Nutritional gaps and metabolic breakdowns
Overwhelmed detoxification pathways
Successful treatment of complex gut issues therefore, requires a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of gut organs as well as the wider body.
You won’t find these nuanced connections in a textbook—we’ve spent thousands of hours researching and mapping them out with our experience. With over 15 years helping professionals resolve complex gut distress, there’s nothing we haven’t seen before.
Investigations shouldn’t end with test results. We need to understand how these results fits in with triggers, original cause, lifestyle mediators, and your diet, which we’ve spent decades mastering.
the gut effect
Functional Medicine principles are rooted in ‘Systems Biology’, which speaks of the interconnectedness of body organs and functions, the missing link in understanding modern disease.
