“Conventional medicine had given up on my husband Alec, there was nothing they could do to help his Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and chronic fatigue, plus other challenging issues. Only two months into the pathway with Pete, Alec is a changed man! His concentration has improved and he reads a lot. His sleep is also much improved and he now gets up each morning with renewed vigour. He’s back in the land of the living!”

Your Unique Journey

Every individual’s health journey is different, with variations in structure and duration. Functional Medicine is not a quick fix; it’s a comprehensive, personalised approach designed to address the root causes of your health issues.

To achieve meaningful results, we recommend an initial commitment of at least three months. Drawing on years of clinical experience, we create a personalised Functional Medicine treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired?

At Functional Medicine Associates, we work with a wide range of chronic and complex health concerns — from autoimmune conditions and gut health disorders to cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, mental health challenges, and corporate burnout.

Our team brings many years of experience helping patients, many of whom have struggled with unresolved symptoms or diagnoses, or have tried traditional care for chronic diseases without success.

We treat each patient as an individual, looking beyond symptoms to uncover the root causes of poor health. Using a Functional Medicine root cause approach, we explore how genetics, gut microbiota, nutrition, lifestyle, and environment interact to affect well-being — creating a personalised treatment plan that works for you.

Conditions we commonly help with include:

• Autoimmune conditions
• Thyroid disorders
• Cardiovascular disease
• Gut health problems (IBS, Crohn’s, colitis, SIBO)
• Anxiety and depression
• Cognitive decline and brain fog
• Fibromyalgia and chronic pain
• Fatigue and burnout
• Blood sugar regulation and diabetes

Whether you are managing a specific chronic illness or simply seeking answers to years of unexplained symptoms, our goal is to help restore your health, energy, and quality of life.
