Functional Medicine

I've been giving Functional Medicine a go now for a couple of months & feel it's really helping both my IBS & psoriasis.

I've been on about 17 different supplements per day, but upping it to 27 over the next month. Lots of changes but I'm really surprised at how well my gut is tolerating it all!

Is anyone else on here doing any work with Functional Medicine?

As a Registered Nutritional Therapist, I practice functional and lifestyle medicine.

There is so much we practitioners can do to help get to the root cause of our client’s symptoms.

Our clients are always amazed how well they begin to feel in a matter of weeks!

Good for you and good luck!

I think my symptoms are very complex, however I'm very pleased with the results so far. I usually cannot stomach anything, but these supplements are really working for me.

I can tolerate a lot more food now & I feel like I'm getting stronger with each passing day.

It appears I have issues with Yeast, candida overgrowth, dsbiosis, oxlates vitamin difficency and so on.

I'm only targeting oxalates & vitamin difficency at the moment as I know yeast & candida die off can be quite harsh to tolerate (I know, I've tried before)

Starting that in a couple of weeks, so I'm hoping I can tolerate better on this occasion :)
