Digestive Health

Irritable bowel syndrome is one of the most common gut dysfunctions that can greatly impact one’s quality of life. To effectively manage IBS, it’s important to take a holistic approach and consider the various underlying factors that may contribute to gut dysfunction. Although there are multiple treatment options available, modifying your diet is a great start to see initial benefits that can dampen symptoms which more investigative works takes place.

Unfortunately, conventional medicine often takes a narrow view of digestive issues and tends to focus solely on symptom management by prescribing medication as a temporary solution and prescribes too many antibiotics that are simply not needed. It’s crucial to recognize the extensive influence that the gut can have on overall health, as gut issues can manifest as joint pain, skin issues and mental health disorders. Therefore, a more comprehensive approach to gut health is necessary for optimal well-being.

TREATMENT APPROACH

Functional medicine operates on the principle of providing a personalized approach to each patient’s health concerns. This means that the causes and symptoms of each patient’s condition will be unique and require tailored treatment protocols based on factors such as their nutritional status, genetics, detoxification status and lifestyle habits. By scrutinizing every aspect of a patient’s health, we can identify the underlying causes of gut dysfunction and any core imbalances that may interfere with their body’s ability to digest and absorb nutrients.

Our team of experienced Functional Medicine practitioners is dedicated to helping patients overcome their digestive health issues. Our approach goes beyond providing symptomatic relief and focuses on addressing the root causes of these issues. At the Edinburgh Centre for Functional Medicine, we offer solutions that will help you correct any dysfunction within your digestive system and bring back balance

Approach

Nutritient Absorption

An imbalance in our digestive system can result in a range of symptoms and conditions. Our health is influenced by what we eat and absorb, and any dysfunction can impact the body's optimal functioning and weaken the immune system.

Nutraceuticals

Based on the specific condition, your practitioner may suggest targeted supplements to aid the body in optimizing specific nutrients, minerals, or enzymes to give as much support as needed.

Treatment Support

Our approach is centered around testing rather than guessing, which can ultimately be more efficient and cost-effective. Our team of functional medicine doctors and practitioners can suggest specific gut health, such as the SIBO breath test, candida test, and microbiome testing to identify the root cause of your digestive issuesg

Testing

Our practitioners are able to suggest additional treatments or lifestyle interventions that have been proven effective in helping you overcome a specific digestive condition

What our clients are saying

Carolina

Alex

Working with Rob was a truly transformative experience. Their guidance not only helped me navigate a wide range of symptoms but also gave me the knowledge and tools to build lasting, healthy habits. I feel more empowered and informed about my health than ever before. Edinburgh CFM is setting a new standard for how healthcare should be delivered — I can’t recommend Rob highly enough.

Rebecca

Edinburgh CFM has been life-changing for me. Living with eczema was overwhelming — it felt like it was taking over every part of my life. I joined the 6-month program hoping for some guidance, and what I got was so much more. With the support of Rob, I now understand the specific foods and lifestyle triggers that were making things worse. For the first time, my eczema is under control without relying on steroids — and I finally feel empowered in my own skin

Joan

My daughter was having health challenges and someone recommended the centre. She received a diagnosis of gut issues and found out she had SIBO. With the help of our practitioner, we were able to get her back to school so she could continue her studies for her exams. Highly recommended “

Marcus

“I came to the Centre with a diagnosis, (Hashimoto’s,) I hadn’t been able to find a clinic that would provide understanding and how to approach the disease without just suppressing symptoms. I feel like I matter and so do my symptoms. Progress made has been far greater than I have had through any other treatment options and I know that at each appointment I am able to share where I am and look at options of the next steps in my progression. I would highly recommend this clinic…”
