FAQs

What is Integrative Medicine?

Integrative Medicine combines conventional medical science with evidence-based complementary approaches, focusing on the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. It aims to identify and address the underlying causes of disease while supporting the body’s natural healing capacity.

How is your approach different from conventional medicine?

Conventional medicine often focuses on diagnosing and treating disease. Our approach also explores the underlying biological, environmental, nutritional, metabolic and lifestyle factors that may contribute to illness and influence long-term health.

What conditions do you commonly work with?

We support patients with chronic fatigue, autoimmune diseases, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, metabolic conditions, chronic inflammation, allergies, recurrent infections, neurological symptoms, healthy-ageing concerns and complex chronic health issues.

Do I need a diagnosis before booking an appointment?

No. Many patients seek our care because they have persistent symptoms without clear answers. Our goal is to investigate potential root causes and develop a personalised strategy.

Can Integrative Medicine be combined with conventional medical treatments?

Yes. Integrative Medicine is designed to work alongside conventional medical care. We frequently collaborate with other healthcare professionals to provide a comprehensive and coordinated approach.

Do you offer online consultations?

Yes. We provide online consultations for patients worldwide, allowing access to our services regardless of location.

How long is the first consultation?

Initial consultations are typically longer than standard medical appointments, allowing sufficient time to review medical history, lifestyle, symptoms, previous investigations and health goals.

Which laboratory tests do you use?

We may recommend conventional laboratory testing as well as advanced functional assessments when clinically appropriate, including microbiome analysis, nutritional status evaluation, toxic exposure assessments, metabolic markers and other specialised investigations.

What is Functional Medicine?

Functional Medicine is a systems-based approach that seeks to identify and address the root causes of disease by understanding how genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, environment and physiology interact.

What is Preventive and Lifestyle Medicine?

Preventive and Lifestyle Medicine focuses on identifying and addressing risk factors before disease develops. Through evidence-based interventions involving nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management and other health-promoting strategies, it aims to support long-term wellbeing and reduce the risk of chronic disease.

Can you help patients with cancer?

We provide "Integrative Oncology" support aimed at improving quality of life, resilience, symptom management and overall well-being. Our services complement — but never replace — conventional oncology treatments.

What role does nutrition play in your treatments?

Nutrition is one of the foundations of health. Personalised dietary strategies are frequently incorporated into treatment plans to support metabolism, immune function, gut health, inflammation control and overall vitality.

Do you prescribe supplements?

When clinically appropriate, we may recommend targeted nutritional supplementation based on individual needs, laboratory findings and treatment goals.

What is the gut microbiome and why is it important?

The gut microbiome consists of trillions of microorganisms that influence digestion, immunity, metabolism, hormonal balance and even brain function. Optimising gut health is often a key component of our clinical approach.

Can Integrative Medicine help with healthy ageing?

Yes. Our longevity-focused programmes aim to support healthy ageing by addressing inflammation, metabolic health, mitochondrial function, hormonal balance, nutrition and lifestyle factors associated with biological ageing.

What is personalised medicine?

Personalised medicine recognises that every individual is biologically unique. Treatment recommendations are tailored to each patient’s medical history, laboratory findings, genetics, lifestyle and health objectives.

Are your treatments evidence-based?

Yes. Our clinical approach integrates current scientific evidence, clinical experience and individualised patient assessment to develop safe and effective treatment strategies.

Do you work with international patients?

Yes. We regularly care for patients from different countries through both in-person and online consultations, providing individualised support and follow-up.

How many consultations will I need?

The number of consultations varies according to each patient’s health status, goals and complexity. Many patients benefit from ongoing follow-up to monitor progress and adjust treatment plans.

What is your philosophy of care?

We believe that health is more than the absence of disease. Our mission is to understand each patient as a whole person, identify underlying imbalances and create personalised strategies that support long-term health, resilience and quality of life.
