Functional medicine seeks to optimise wellbeing by understanding and addressing the underlying causes of ill health.
Your health. It’s personal.
Health can be strongly influenced by diet and lifestyle, and these influences can be very personal. The functional medicine approach aims to look at the big picture for each person, and work out what changes would be most important for them as an individual. This typically involves considering many pillars of health rather than just one area (like diet, stress, sleep, etc).
At Cambridge Functional Medicine, we think this approach gives a really valuable perspective on how to live healthily and well, so we are keen to spread the word. In these pages, we’ll explain how we approach health using the functional medicine model. Hopefully, there is a lot you can find here to help you.
If you’re struggling with chronic symptoms, though, please do consider booking with us… it can be hard to navigate this area alone.
Find personalised solutions
Nutrition, activity, stress, lifestyle, and the environment all have a huge impact on how the body ‘functions’ – and these are brilliant tools to optimise health and energy for the longer term.
Solutions are often very personalised. We are all unique, with individual strengths and susceptibilities, so what’s right for one person can be wrong for the next.
Where we look in the body – for causes, and solutions
Here are a few of the areas we commonly find we need to help.
Each of these systems is a foundation for good health. Pretty much anyone could benefit from strengthening their health in these areas… so do read on to discover how to maximise your health and resilience.
Each system can be well supported through diet and lifestyle.
We all have a 24-hour circadian rhythm hard-wired into our bodies. This strongly affects our daily energy levels, and it also helps our cells to work healthily and well.
These days it’s common to have late nights, early mornings, irregular schedules and disrupted sleep. Working on strengthening the circadian rhythm in the face of these challenges can really help many people. In turn, stronger rhythms can enhance energy, blood sugar control, digestion, and many other aspects of health.
Good length and quality of sleep is also hugely important for wellbeing, healing, and a healthy immune system. Read on to find out how best to support these systems in the context of the modern world…
