If you've been following us for a while you may have noticed a change in 2026. We've been trialing a new way of working and it has been rather popular.⁠
⁠
⁠
Prior to now we have operated exclusively within a highly comprehensive and supportive care model - we call that our Signature Program.⁠
⁠
⁠
But not everyone needed (or wanted) 5-months of high support.⁠
⁠
⁠
So we're formally launching our Functional Medicine appointment-to-appointment service - it's regular care, delivered in a more common way: appointments as and when you need.⁠
⁠
⁠
Because everyone arrives to MFM with a different story, symptoms, and goals. Some patients are ready for ongoing care. Others simply need clarity around testing or guidance on what to do next.⁠
⁠
⁠
Get started with us today in two ways:⁠
⁠
- 1 hour initial session or,⁠
- 3 hour initial deep dive session⁠
⁠
⁠
Wherever you start, you’ll receive the same high standard of clinical care and personalised support. And as your health journey unfolds, we’re here to adapt with you.⁠
⁠

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."⁠
