Food is medicine and we have expert nutritionists passionate about food and helping you to optimise your diet.
Nutrition
01
Sleep is the cornerstone to health, it is essential to every process in the body, affecting our physical and mental functioning, our ability to fight disease and develop immunity, and our metabolism and chronic disease risk.
Sleep and Relaxation
02
From yoga to walking, swimming or team sports, movement improves our physical and mental health, and is key to an active and joy filled life. With our movement experts and health coach we can support and guide you into your optimum movement plan.
Movement
03
Our connections with the people we love and work with can be a source of both support or stress. We can help and support you gain positive and healthy relationships through our health coach. Having fulfilling relationships is key to maintaining a balanced and healthy life and one of the cornerstones to building optimum physical and mental health
Relationships
04
How we manage stress and the way it manifests in our bodies and minds has a huge influence on our health. Stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline can lead to hormone imbalance, digestive issues, inflammation and lowered immunity not to mention anxiety, depression, fatigue and brain fog. Using food, nutritional supplements, herbal medicine, health coaching, movement or mindfulness are just some of the key approaches we use to help you to reduce the effects of stress and to harness it into a positive force for change and transition into a healthier, happier and more balanced life.
Stress
05
In Functional Medicine we look to the digestion as one of the key roots of health and focus on the gut microbiome in particular. The link between our gut microbiome and many chronic health problems has been well researched and is a rapidly growing area of new science. We use a food as medicine approach adding in nutritional supplements, herbal medicine or botanicals, mindfulness, coaching, movement and exercise working with you together as needed in a tailored plan.
We have over 10 years of working in this area, in particular with the gut microbiome, we use gold standard functional medicine testing through Invivo Healthcare.
They provide world-class advanced laboratory diagnostics in gut, vaginal and oral microbiome testing.
In addition we work with Genova Diagnostics for Nutritional testing; LifeCode GX for genomics and Cyrex laboratory, which specialises in functional immunology and autoimmunity clinical testing.
