Recent review from Aimr who started with us by completing lab testing (see our most popular test we posted last week), then seeing us for a 60 min test interpretation session. ⁠

“I recently had a test interpretation session with Jabe at Melbourne Functional Medicine, and it was honestly one of the most valuable health appointments I’ve had. ⁠

Before booking, I spent a lot of time researching different functional and longevity clinics, including places like Everlab. What ultimately led me to Melbourne Functional Medicine was their depth, transparency, and focus on genuinely understanding the whole picture rather than offering a surface level or overly protocol driven approach.⁠

From the moment I met Jabe, that decision felt completely right. He is incredibly knowledgeable and went through my test results thoroughly and in real depth, explaining everything clearly and thoughtfully. He connected the dots in a way that made sense to me rather than just reading numbers off a report. I never felt rushed, and every question I had was met with care and clarity."⁠

Did you know you can have none, some, or all of your appointments with us via video telehealth?⁠


The functional medicine methodology allows for care to be received via video - yes, even if you are completing lab testing.⁠


Do we get the same results as in person? Absolutely.⁠

Practitioner Nina explains how modern life asks a lot of our bodies, so it makes sense that our approach to health has evolved too.⁠

Functional testing allows us to look beyond symptoms and uncover nutrient gaps based on what’s actually happening in your body.⁠

Take Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid, an important type of Omega-3). ⁠

We're advocates for using functional testing to uncover not just your current Omega 3 status, but a range of markers only available on functional blood and metabolite testing.⁠
