FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH
Functional medicine health coaching is client-centred, focusing on your needs and goals before anything else. As a Health Coach, I can help you manage chronic conditions, increase movement, and generally improve your physical and mental health. Positive psychology is used to assist a client to achieve happiness, optimism, mindfulness, flow, character strengths, hope, positive thinking and mental resilience as well assisting them to achieve their health goals for whatever condition they have.
Step by step coaching provides clients with specific goals to work on, recipes and diet guidelines, exercises and lifestyle management tools to help reduce the stress that could be contributing to their disease or illness.
FASTING AND DETOX PROGRAMMES
I offer various detox programmes according to your health issues. Detoxing before and after undertaking dental work, chemotherapy, heavy metal cleansing, operations, Spring and Summer boosts or jump start a new eating or weight loss programme. Fasting with or without colonic irrigation is also very popular with clients. Programmes can be anywhere from 3 days to 21 days. Fully supervised and professional.
FOOD INTOLERANCE TEST
The test is designed to detect the presence of elevated IgG antibodies to specific food proteins. It is a concept that combines a sophisticated blood analysis for IgG food hypersensitivities with personalised post-test guidance. The test kits are CE marked and use WHO reference standards.
The detection of IgG antibodies has increasingly been associated with adverse symptoms. The theory is that repeated exposure to certain food proteins may eventually produce allergic like symptoms or hypersensitivities. These reactions are usually delayed with symptoms not being evident for hours or even days. Some scientists suggest that IgG antibodies drive these delayed reactions. Results from studies indicate that eliminating elevated IgG antibody responsive foods results in statistically significant improvement in a variety of conditions like migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohns disease and juvenile obesity.

SPECIALISED STOOL TEST
Stool is not just a simple waste material. Stool testing is used in the diagnosis of disorders such as gastrointestinal infections, malabsorption syndromes, and inflammatory bowel diseases. Stool testing can prevent unnecessary invasive treatments. Stool analyses include microscopic examination, chemical, immunologic, and microbiologic tests. Stool samples are examined for pancreatic elastase, calprotectin, SigA, intestinal flora and infectious causes (bacteria, viruses, and parasites).
GENETIC TESTING AND NUTRIGENOMICS
Nutrigenomics is the scientific study of the interaction of nutrition and genes, especially with regard to the prevention or treatment of health issues and disease.
Genetic testing can determine if you are at risk for certain health conditions such as heart disease, cancers, inflammatory conditions, mental disorders, osteoporosis, food sensitivities, and obesity. You can also find out what diet is best for you, how much exercise you require, and what exercises are best for you. You can then lower risks through dietary and lifestyle changes. You can work your diet around your genes, resulting in you lowering your risk of chronic diseases and conditions in the future. It is a simple saliva swab.
