WHAT IS PERSONALISED HEALTH?

Personalised Health, also known as Functional Medicine, is a private health model that is the future of health for the 21st Century.

It tackles the underlying causes of disease and poor health and is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st Century. Conventional medicine tends to have a disease-centred focus. However Functional Medicine, the medical basis for Personalised Health, addresses not just a set of symptoms seen in isolation but the whole, unique person offering a more patient-centred approach.

If your digestive tract is optimised, if your hormonal system is balanced and if this is all done considerately to your unique genetic disposition, you will in all likelihood be able to achieve the best of health. These 3 systems overlap, they interlink and they are all vital for healthy function, longevity and quality of life.

YOUR PERSONALISED 360° HEALTH PROGRAMME

o support you to achieve 360° optimal health we operate a series of functional tests and produce a personalised plan tailored to your needs and goals. These advanced tests include urine, saliva, blood and stool analysis. Your samples are sent to our partner laboratories and give us you unique ‘fingerprint’ of health helping us to form your personalised plan.

We support the analysis of these tests with our skilled functional medicine practitioners.

The advanced tests that we work with are not readily available on the NHS. The tests we do offer would only normally be available in the NHS from endroconologists for hormone health, gastro-intestinal consultants for gut health and geneticist for genetic health. It would normally take you months or years to become ‘ill enough’ to be referred to these experts.

We combine naturopathic principles with functional medicine.

YOUR PERSONALISED 360° HEALTH PROGRAMME

Normally chronic health conditions stem from the gut. We regard gut health as a vital cornerstone for the foundation of complete optimal health. We can offer you the opportunity to have a highly comprehensive test that analyses your digestive tract to objectively evaluate the status of your gut health and identify contributing factors to gastrointestinal complaints and other chronic health conditions.

Assesses the key pillars of the hormone system; adrenals (stress), thyroid and sex hormones to identify where any imbalances may lie and help you achieve total hormone health.
 

By gaining insight into your unique genotype you can make informed choices to optimise your health and help prevent chronic disease. The genetics test includes an Organic Acids test to give an even deeper knowledge of what is happening in your body and what it needs to stay healthy
 

Complete 360 brings together all three key areas of your health to create a unified heath picture. Your unique genetic blueprint is analysed so we can aim to balance your hormones and help you achieve optimal digestive function that is considerate of this blueprint.
 
These 3 parts can work individually or collaboratively and with this information we are able to create a personalised health plan tailored to your health needs and health goals.
