Your body feels everything your mind doesn’t say.

In my practice, I see it every day: chronic bloating that isn’t just about food, fatigue that doesn’t improve with sleep, persistent pain that no scan can fully explain.

So often, these symptoms aren’t just physical, they’re emotional signals the body is carrying for us.

Unprocessed stress, grief, anxiety, trauma - they don’t just disappear. The body holds on. It compensates. It adapts. Until eventually, it starts to whisper… or scream.

Functional medicine invites us to ask deeper questions:

🔹What is the body trying to say?
🔹Where is it asking for support, not just chemically, but emotionally?

We cannot truly heal the body without acknowledging the emotional weight it carries.

Your health is not just blood tests and diagnoses.
It’s your story. Your nervous system. Your heart.

If you’re dealing with symptoms that don’t seem to make sense, maybe it’s time to pause and listen; not just to your body, but to your emotions too.

Let’s connect the dots together.

Botulinum Toxin injections aren't about erasing who you are. They’re about softening what doesn’t serve you.

This is one of the most common aesthetic treatments I offer and yet, I often hear the same concerns:

“Will I still look like myself?”
“Is it safe?”
“Will people notice?”

Here’s the truth I share with every patient:

When done correctly, Botulinum Toxin should look natural. It’s not about freezing your face, it’s about softening lines, refreshing your appearance, and helping you feel more confident in your own skin.

As a functional medicine doctor, I look at beauty holistically. Botulinum Toxin is just one tool in a wider approach to aging gracefully, supporting skin health, and honouring your sense of self.

And yes; it’s safe, quick, and results can be beautifully subtle.

As a functional medicine practitioner, I see IBS as more than just a label. It’s a sign that the body is out of balance. It is often caused by a combination of factors like:

🔹 Chronic stress
🔹 Gut microbiome imbalances
🔹 Food sensitivities
🔹 Inflammation
🔹 Poor digestion or nutrient absorption

The symptoms (bloating, discomfort, unpredictable digestion) can feel like they control your life. But the good news is: there is a way forward.

My approach?

🧠 Look at the gut-brain connection
🍽️ Use DNA and gut health testing to personalise treatment
🌱 Rebuild the gut lining and restore microbial balance
🫶 Support nervous system regulation

You can feel safe and comfortable in your body again. You can enjoy food and life without fear. You just need the right roadmap — one that’s built around you.

If IBS has been running your life, let’s change that.

If you could unlock a personalised health roadmap from your own body… would you?

Your DNA holds powerful clues about how your body responds to food, stress, exercise, and even your risk for chronic illness. Through DNA analysis, we can take a proactive approach to your well-being, rather than just reacting when things go wrong.

🧬 Whether your goal is weight loss, disease prevention, better mental health, or optimising sports performance, these tests help us understand your body’s unique needs so we can tailor your nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle accordingly.

I believe in treating the individual, not just the symptoms, and DNA testing allows us to do exactly that.

Your health journey should be as unique as your DNA.

Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes are often confused — but they’re actually very different.

As a doctor, I often hear patients say, “I thought diabetes only happens when you eat too much sugar,” or “I didn’t know young, healthy people could have diabetes.”

Let’s clear that up:

🔹 Type 1 Diabetes
This is an autoimmune condition. The body attacks its own insulin-producing cells, which means you need insulin to survive. It’s often diagnosed in children or young adults, but it can happen at any age. It’s not caused by diet or lifestyle.

🔹 Type 2 Diabetes
This develops when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough. It’s often linked to genetics, lifestyle, and other health factors. The good news? With early diagnosis, it can often be managed or improved with lifestyle changes and medication.

No matter the type, support and understanding are key. If you’ve been diagnosed or are worried you may be at risk, know that you’re not alone — and there are steps we can take together.

So, when is it safe to start exercising again after being sick?

This is a question I’ve been getting a lot lately, and for good reason.
With the flu and other viral infections going around this winter, many of us are feeling knocked down and eager to bounce back. But getting back into your routine too soon can do more harm than good.

Here’s what I tell my patients:

💬 Listen to your body. If you still have symptoms below the neck like a cough, chest tightness, fatigue, or body aches, your body is still healing.

🛌 Rest is part of recovery. Pushing too hard can prolong your illness or even cause complications.

🚶‍♀️ Start slow. Once your symptoms are gone and you feel stronger, ease in with light movement like stretching or a short walk before jumping back into anything intense.

🩺 Still unsure? Come see me. It’s always okay to ask for guidance before jumping back in.
Your health always comes first. Exercise is important, but so is recovery.

Book a check-in at GESOND if you’re feeling run down or unsure whether you’re ready to get moving again.
