Functional Nutrition Program

Individual, customised to you. 5 consults.

This program is designed for those who are struggling with unexplained symptoms and a general sense of unwellness. If you've been feeling "off" but can't quite put your finger on why, or if you've been told everything looks normal on standard tests despite feeling far from it, this program is for you.

What to expect from the program.

Below is an overview of what you can expect over the 5 consults in the Functional Nutrition Program.

This program emphasises the interconnectedness of gut, liver, and hormonal systems while prioritizing lifestyle factors critical for long-term vital health.

Cross-Cutting Themes

  • Stress & Sleep: Woven into all consults (e.g., cortisol testing in intake, stress-reduction in gut protocol).

  • Toxic Burden: Addressed via dietary cleanup (consult 2), liver support (consult 4), and hormone detox (consult 5).

  • Personalisation: Labs and protocols tailored to individual genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors.

Initial Consult

Comprehensive Case Taking

 In this session:

  • Medical & Lifestyle History:

    • Detailed review of medical history, medications, surgeries, and family history.

    • Assessment of sleep quality, stress levels, and environmental exposures (e.g., toxins, chemicals).

  • Symptom Analysis:

    • Mapping symptoms to potential systems imbalances (e.g., fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal disruptions).

  • Functional Medicine Tools:

    • Use of a "timeline" to correlate symptoms with life events (e.g., infections, stressors).

    • Genogram for familial patterns of chronic disease.

  • Lab Work Planning: (Optional)

    • Initial tests: Comprehensive blood panel, cortisol/DHEA-S (stress markers), and toxin load assessment (e.g., heavy metals, pesticides).

Consult 2

Focus: Nutrition Assessment & Analysis

  • Dietary Analysis:

    • Review of food journals for inflammatory triggers.

    • Nutrient gaps, and eating behaviors.

    • Assessment of microbiome-supportive foods.

  • Functional Testing:

    • Micronutrient testing

    • Food sensitivity panels (IgG/IgA) or organic acid testing (metabolic byproducts).

  • Personalised Nutrition Plan:

    • Anti-inflammatory protocols

    • Targeted supplementation

Consult 3

Focus: Gut Health & Protocol

  • Gut Testing or Cleanse:

    • Comprehensive stool analysis (e.g., GI-MAP) to assess pathogens, commensal bacteria, and inflammation (calprotectin).

    • SIBO breath test if bloating/IBS symptoms present.

  • 5R Protocol Implementation:

  • Lifestyle Integration:

    • Mindful eating practices and circadian rhythm alignment for digestion.

Consult 4

Focus: Hepatic-Biliary Tree Support

  • Liver Function Assessment:

    • Liver enzyme panels

    • Phase I/II detox genetic testing

  • Detox Protocol:

    • Nutrition: Cruciferous vegetables (sulforaphane), beets, artichokes, and bitter herbs (dandelion, milk thistle).

    • Supplements: Specific for liver/gallbladder

    • Hydration & Drainage: Increase water intake, sauna, and lymphatic massage techniques.

  • Toxin Reduction:

    • Education on reducing exposure to endocrine disruptors (phthalates, parabens) in personal care/products.

Consult 5

Focus: Hormone Health & Systemic Balance

Hormone Testing: (otional)

  • DUTCH test for cortisol rhythm, sex hormones, and melatonin.

  • Thyroid panel (TSH, free T3/T4, reverse T3, antibodies).

  • Root Cause Interventions:

    • Stress & Sleep:

      • Adaptogens for HPA axis support.

      • Sleep hygiene protocols

    • Chemical Load Mitigation:

      • Binding agents

    • Hormone Modulation:

      • Phytoestrogen management

      • Insulin sensitivity support

  • Lifestyle Synergy:

    • Strength training for insulin/sex hormone balance.

    • Mindfulness practices to lower cortisol.
