If you’re seeking solutions to persistent health issues and require a licensed Australian doctor with a comprehensive approach, you’re in the right place. At AUSCFM, we offer online functional medicine consultations, enabling individuals across Brisbane and Greater Queensland to access science-based, personalised care from home or work.

Whether you’re in the inner suburbs of the capital or a rural QLD town, our specialist team is here to identify the causes of your symptoms and disease and guide you towards lasting wellbeing.

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional medicine vastly differs from conventional care in that it focuses on identifying and addressing the sources of illness rather than treating symptoms. It uses a holistic and individualised approach, considering the interconnectedness of the body’s systems. Conventional medicine often focuses on symptom management and may not fully explore underlying mechanisms or the patient’s overall health.

Rather than masking symptoms, functional medicine focuses on long-term solutions through:

Thorough health history analysis
In-depth understanding of the interplay of the body’s systems
Identifying mechanisms through DNA analysis, laboratory testing and medical history evaluation
Integrative support encompassing nutrition, movement and sleep, using scientifically researched strategies to optimise health

With AUSCFM, you’ll receive expert guidance to make meaningful, lasting improvements to your health and wellness.
