Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine is a systems biology-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease.It involves evaluating each symptom and clinical diagnosis within the context of a client’s genetic background, lifestyle, and environment to create a tailored treatment plan that targets the underlying cause, as opposed to treating and suppressing the symptoms using pharmaceuticals. The Functional Medicine model evolved from the work of a selected group of specialists in a variety of fields including nutritional science, genomics, and epigenetics that focused on the fundamental cause of disease and took a unified disciplinary approach to better understand disorders that affect the entire body.
Drawing together these research fields, they saw the potential of applying low-risk interventions to modify the molecular and cellular systems to identify, treat and reverse the root cause of disease. Initial applications yielded impressive results in patients that had previously undergone conventional treatment without success in treating their condition. These proven successes have led to the significant growth of the field of Functional Medicine worldwide.
The Functional Medicine Tree
Antecedents, Triggers and Mediators
Genetic or acquired factors that predispose an individual to a particular disease; Triggers are factors that provoke symptoms and Mediators are biochemical or psychosocial factors that contribute to ongoing pathological changes
- Mental, Emotional, Spiritual Influences
- Genetic Predispocition
- Experiemces, Attitudes, Beliefs
What Diseases Are Treated
Functional Medicine is a systems biology-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease.Taking a holistic approach, Functional Medicine Practitioners work across mental and physical health, short-term, and chronic diseases to solve complex and often multifaceted health disorders.
Depression & Stress

Regeneration Injection Therapy
Powerful methods of healing and replacing tissues that have been damaged through aging, disease and to normalise congenital defects which can delay or eliminate the need for replacement surgeries.
Advanced Regenerative Injection Therapy helps to soothe damaged joints and markedly improve function while Regenerative Injection Therapy using stem cells treats more severe degeneration of the ligaments and rheumatic joints to encourage tissue regrowth in areas such as the knees.
Biophoton Therapy
Treatment of the body with a low intensity infrared laser and red LED light to stimulate healthy cell function and promote cell regeneration. Using advanced equipment, the Integrated Laser System mimics the natural absorption of sunlight to boost cell activity for natural pain relief, relaxation and leaving the body feeling energized.
The treatment is designed to treat chronic conditions whereby optimal organ function has been compromised to promote the body’s natural healing response. This includes chronic fatigue, physical pain, infectious diseases, Lyme Disease, post-surgery as well as accident recovery.
Colon Hydrotherapy
Colon Hydrotherapy is a simple, clean and painless procedure that cleanses the large intestine to remove accumulated waste and toxins to restore the health of the digestive system.
Colon hydrotherapy cleanses the colon through the elimination of residual waste that remains adhered to the colonic walls and creases. This restores and optimizes the digestive system for improved energy and an overall sense of well-being as well as an immediate feeling of released pressure in the abdominal area.
Bioresonance
Bioresonance is a painless, non-invasive therapeutic tool that uses a specialized machine to measure the frequency of energy wavelengths being emitted by the body as each type of cell emits a certain type of frequency.
The machine can detect changes and disruptions in these waves to diagnose various health conditions and then manipulate these frequencies to treat the disorder. It is particularly effective for chronic pain, fatigue, arthritis, and digestive problems among others as it works by aiding the body to release toxins and stress to rebalance, thus restoring your body’s natural capability to heal and repair.
