At the Functional Health Clinic, we take a science-based, patient-centred approach to healthcare. We focus on identifying and addressing the root cause of illness, rather than simply masking the symptoms.
Grounded in human biology, physiology, and evidence-based research, our clinic combines the latest medical science with a naturopathic and functional philosophy to support whole-body healing. We believe that chronic health issues stem from imbalances, toxic exposures, and disruptions in normal biological functions and by understanding these underlying factors, we can guide you towards healing and lasting wellness.
We are currently offering phone consultations for anyone in New Zealand.
Functional health is about maximising the body’s natural ability to heal and function optimally by identifying and addressing the underlying causes of illness. By using functional health practices, you will be given advice, science-based knowledge, and most importantly, healing techniques and preventative steps to minimise the reaction to illness and disease.
This is an ideal alternative for individuals who have been suffering from chronic illness and may not be finding relief from the contemporary medical approaches for a variety of reasons, such as:
unpleasant side effects of pharmaceutical drugs
limited time with a GP
would like to directly target the cause of the issue to stop the symptoms
would like to support individual health naturally and in conjunction with contemporary medicine
do not want to take pharmaceutical medicine at all
would like to understand how the body works to self-heal
would like scientific information on natural health alternatives
would like disease-preventative advice
At The Functional Health Clinic, we assist in chronic health conditions that you’ve been experiencing long term, or wish to prevent. Any acute presentations must be seen by your GP, Medical & Injury Centre, or Emergency Department.
