What functional
Medicine is and what I offer!
The frustration of many seeking answers for their chronic problem is that they are not understood and seen for their wholeness.
We, Human beings are not just our physical selves.
We are also emotional, thinking and spiritual beings and our biology is influenced by our minds, our beliefs and our emotions. Our spiritual selves include our beliefs in God or a higher power that gives us guidance, faith, hope and love in our daily challenges in life.
Our health and our well being hinges in an interplay and communications of our MIND, BODY and SPIRIT mainly thru our neevous system especially our autonomic(automatic)nervous system.
So to truly understand and heal from our many long term illnesses, or even symptoms of fatigue or tiredness , unshakeable weight gain, eczema, gut issues like IBS, all sorts of autoimmune condition
like SLE( lupus) and Hashimoto’s , we
need good enough TIME (not 15 minutes or 30 minutes)to really understand , infact know the STORY of one’s persons life inorder
to dig into the root cause/s of the problem!
Furthermore, there’s NO way medications solely will treat a chronic problem.
In my practice as a functional medical practitioner, I see my functional patients in several sessions, 2 of them are at least an hour to 80 minutes long. In these sessions, the story of your life opens to you and thru your Fx doctor like me, I connect the dots of what these factors could be . It is actually a detective work for me which I love as you,the patient get to understand what factors came into play in your illness/ health problems.
It is empowering to see clients understand their illness often for the first time and they take control of their healing!
I love to say to my functionsl patients that they are NOT dependent on ME , their doctor once they understand the root causes of their issues and given a personalised management plan to heal themselves. I am here to assist but the pace of healing is dependent on you the patient.
Healing means becoming WHOLE, and that’s what we aim for in FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE!
As a Fx med practitioner, this is the best feeling to hear comments from my clients like,
“Thanks God I felt heard for the first time”! ,
“I never thought my weight was connected to my stress!”
, “Thank you for not giving up on me!” and a lot more!
The best compliment is even they keep telling their good experiences and results to their friends and these friends do come to see me too! 💕💖
My personal journey and my frustration with the inadequacy of what I was taught from my conventional medical training , led me to this beautiful journey that led me to finding the true gift of functional medicine.
It’s what keeps me going at this stage in my career when I am supposed to be hanging my stethoscope and bidding medicine good bye!
It has given me a new lease of life and career satisfaction when I am able to give HOPE and ANSWERS to each patient that come to see a functional doctor after being frustrated seeing so many drs and not getting better & a often being brushed aside or as one of my new patient put it” i was gaslighted”.
So, for those of you suffering from chronic health issues , Get empowered to heal yourself, book a consult to see to start this journey with me. I care about getting you back to youf vibrant and happy YOU!
