NUTRITION AND FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
|
At The Olive Tree Clinic we use a functional medicine approach. This looks for biochemical imbalances in the body that may contribute to health issues.
We colect information in three major ways:
-
Intake questionnaires: before you come,
we ask you to complete a detailed health questionnaire and four day food diary.
-
Initial consultation: when we meet, we discuss your major goals and health concerns, and run some basic physical checks- weight, blood pressure, etc.
As a functional medicine practice, it is normal to recommend tests to investigate any specific imbalances suggested by the information gathered. Pateints should expect to run tests in a functional medicine practice, but there are some cases where we can make progress without.
-
Testing: once the recommen
ded tests have been run, we meet again to discuss results.
We then design a personalised programme to support health and vitality through individually selected supplements, eating/food changes and lifestyle suggestions. You are given a report summarising our recommendations.

Productivity and morale can be strained by absenteeism and ill health amongst your staff.
