FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE RESEARCH

We like having our finger on the pulse of the latest Functional Medicine research, take a look at some of our articles regarding the contributing factors to your health.

WHAT MAKES The Australian Centre for Functional Medicine DIFFERENT?

Our point of difference is we complete comprehensive workups of medical testing to diagnose your digestive disorders.

We do tests. We don’t assume.

At our Perth Centre we obtain a full health profile with range of different testing which all speaks to each other. We do not use single testing methodology.

We Question Everything

Our extensive testing means that we don’t just treat the symptoms of your digestive issues – we find the root cause of your disorder and heal your body from the inside out.

Tailored Protocol

Once we’ve performed the necessary testing, our experienced practitioners review your results and put together a comprehensive and personalised treatment plan to get your digestion on track through nutraceutical/botanical supplementation, nutrition, diet, lifestyle changes, and supplementation.
