Functional Health Seminars

Functional Health Seminar

We’ve now run the two Functional Health Seminar groups of Newcastle University 4th Year Medical Students at the clinic. Two great groups discussing and learning about the Functional Health Approach.

Blue Light Blockers

Blue Light Blockers

It’s essential to understand (at least just a little) how Light interacts with our biology.

Functional Medicine Initial Consultation

Initial Consultation Feedback

Kristina’s Initial Consultation Feedback from last week “I am so thankful I decided to do the GI Map Test and Consultation with Jack Walton.

Don was aged 72 when he contacted us. For 35 years he’d been experiencing stomach discomfort and sciatic pain (lower back/leg area). The conventional paradigm or approach to health would typically see these two presentations as separate and not particularly connected. In fact over the last few decades Don had been to see many different[...]

Step 1: REVEAL

“Assess for Success” One of the first questions I ask my clients is “are you experiencing a lot of confusion or clarity regarding your health?”  The majority feel confused, frustrated and disempowered and are on the merry-go-round of on/off symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and bouncing from practitioner to practitioner. The solution is simply to get off the[…]

Chronic Pain Patient and Bowen

“When I first came across The Bowen Technique I was skeptical. How could something so non-invasive and subtle be of any use! Particularly as I had been in such a lot of back pain for about 6months. Yet – within a week my pain had reduced by 50% and after two sessions, for the first[…]

Nutrition

Nutrition that matches your Biochemical Individuality! So where does Functional Medicine end and Nutrition begin?  The answer will further highlight the flow in which this program is designed. Health and Vitality are rarely enhanced when bouncing around from practitioner to practitioner, diet to diet, gimmick to gimmick.  Even though I have developed skills in bodywork,[…]
