EDINBURGH NUTRITION CENTRE | FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

Want To Regain Your Health and Feel Your Best?

At our functional medicine clinic, we are dedicated to empowering our clients on their journey towards optimal health. 


WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?

The functional medicine approach is centred around identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic diseases and compromised health, rather than merely treating surface-level symptoms. By recognising that the most effective way to alleviate persistent symptoms is to uncover and resolve their underlying drivers, our practitioners prioritise optimising diet and lifestyle factors. Leveraging their expertise in areas such as genetics, nutrition, systems biology, and disease processes, our functional medicine experts strive to develop a comprehensive understanding of how lifestyle, genetic predispositions, and environmental factors uniquely interplay in each individual’s case.

Functional medicine offers a comprehensive healthcare approach that encompasses numerous factors that may influence disease or health conditions. Rather than focusing solely on treating symptoms of chronic illnesses, functional medicine considers a patient’s complete picture, including their personal background, family dynamics, lifestyle choices, medical history, genetic predispositions, social factors, and nutritional status. This holistic perspective provides patients with a broader understanding of their health, enabling healthcare providers to tailor treatments that address the underlying causes and promote overall well-being.

Functional medicine adopts a comprehensive approach to tackling health challenges by delving into a variety of factors, including genetics, environment, nutrition, and lifestyle. Instead of perceiving the body as a collection of isolated systems, functional medicine embraces a systems biology-based methodology, aiming to uncover the fundamental causes of a condition and administer treatments that target these causes. This approach yields long-lasting benefits, as it focuses on resolving underlying issues, thereby promoting sustained well-being.
