In November 2022 I qualified as a Master Nutritionist after 3 years of study at The College of Living Nutrition within Aston University in Birmingham. Although a Nutritionist traditionally uses the powerful healing properties of food as nature's medicine cabinet an integrative and functional medicine approach goes much deeper.

So what is functional medicine? Functional medicine offers:

Systems Biology Approach:

Functional medicine views the body as an interconnected network of systems, rather than separate parts. It recognises that imbalances in one system can affect others. 

Root Cause Analysis:

Instead of simply suppressing symptoms, functional medicine seeks to uncover the underlying causes of illness. This might involve investigating factors like diet, stress, sleep, genetics, and environmental exposures. 

Personalised Care:

Functional medicine acknowledges that each individual is unique. Treatment plans are tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of the client, taking into account their genetic makeup, lifestyle, and environment. 

Restoring Homeostasis:

The goal of functional medicine is to restore balance and optimal function within the body's systems, leading to improved health and well-being. 

How it Works:

Comprehensive Assessment:

Functional medicine practitioners conduct thorough assessments, which may include detailed questionnaires, physical examinations, and testing (e.g., blood, urine, stool, and saliva tests as required). 

Identifying Imbalances:

The assessment helps identify imbalances in various bodily systems, such as the digestive system, hormonal system, immune system, and detoxification pathways. 

Personalised Treatment Plans:

Based on the assessment findings, practitioners develop individualised treatment plan that may include dietary changes, nutritional supplements, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and other therapies such as acupuncture, nervous system regulation, massage referred to other therapists such as counselling or osteopathic treatment.

Focus on Long-Term Health:

Functional medicine emphasizes long-term health and well-being, rather than just short-term symptom relief.

Just a quick message to all my clients who have booked the Somatic Healing and Emotional Release Therapy, could you wear something comfortable and fairly fitted, leggings or joggers with a t shirt or base layer would be perfect. As the pre treatment packs have now gone out I will add this in moving forward 😊

When we think about detoxing we usually think of the liver and while this organ is essential for processing toxins and filtering your blood the lymphatic system plays another key role.

Your lymph is like the body’s drainage and recycling crew. It carries cellular waste, toxins, and immune cells through a network of vessels and nodes — helping you stay energised, clear-skinned, and feeling well.

Your lymphatic system doesn’t have a pump like your hear so relies on movement, hydration, and deep breathing to circulate fluid.

But things like stress, inactivity, chronic inflammation, and toxin buildup can all slow it down and for women over 40, hormonal shifts can make lymph flow even less efficient which often leads to issues like bloating, fatigue, brain fog, and skin problems.

A manual lymphatic drainage massage moves lymph slowly through the body which increases efficiency, this gentle massage in not only stimulating but alao very relaxing and calming.

To book a full body manual lymphatic drainage massage or to find out more just get in touch.
