FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Function medicine asks the 'why' and 'what' questions when it comes to assessing client health challenges. It's a systems biology approach that does not view health challenges as being confined to one area of the body, one system or one organ. It approaches complex issues with a "why are you experiencing this?" attitude and aims to figure this out.
Functional Medicine is practiced in personalised nutritional therapy, whereby the multifaceted web like interconnections of pathophysiology are explored, in order to determine the mechanisms behind physiological dysfunction and disease, which will inform us on how to formulate the best intervention therapy protocol for that client.
Below is a very basic idea of a complex fertility related mechanism:
Functional Medicine practitioners often access ranges of tests, either directly through functional medicine testing laboratories or through the clients GP.
These can be blood, urine, saliva, stool, vaginal tract tests and more.
How does this work inside Women's Health Network?
We're glad you asked!
As part of Women's Health Network inner circle membership you get the opportunity every month to step into our monthly 'hot seat'!
This means you get to bring forward a client case, deliver it in detail and as a group we discuss it and aim to lay down the foundations of a mechanism that might be at play for that particular client. As the monthly 'hot seat' participant you get access to Women's Health Network 'behind the scenes' to further dig down into this case during that month!
During the year Women's Health Network will also be inviting functional testing laboratories to join us in webinars aimed at functional testing for women's health.
(note: During 2023 WHN the 'hot seat' experience runs for 9 out of 12 months with the exceptions of July, August and December. As we grow, this grows!)
As part of Women's Health Network Expert-Coach training you get taught how to work under the lens of functional medicine!
You also get full access to the inner circle membership and monthly 'hot seat' experience! You will also have direct access to the functional testing laboratory webinars that will be delivered inside the membership and aimed at functional testing for women's health.
