FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
A holistic, patient-focused, science-based, collaborative approach to health.
Functional medicine is a personalised and integrative approach to healthcare which involves understanding the
prevention, management and root causes of complex chronic diseases. The ultimate goal is to heal disease and
promote a healthy life. A healthy life is not defined as simply an absence of disease, but rather a positive vitality filled with energy, joy, gratitude and balance. The Functional Medicine model evolved from the insights and perspectives of a group of influential scientific leaders who realised the importance of a personalised approach to disease causes based on the evolving research in nutritional science, genomics, and epigenetics.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE AND
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE MODEL
In the conventional model, doctors are trained to make a diagnosis and provide treatment to manage the relative symptoms.
Where a cause can be identified, medication is given to eliminate the cause and therefore restore health. When the cause cannot be identified, as is often the case with chronic disease, the main objective is to improve the patient’s symptoms, in other words to manage the end product of that disease.
The underlying root cause is usually not sought.
The functional medicine model, conversely, is specifically suited to the management of chronic disease, because it addresses its root causes, which derive from lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, and genetic influences.
MANAGING CHRONIC DISEASE WITH FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
​
Based on cutting-edge science, functional medicine offers a whole new way to understand and look at chronic illnesses such as:
chronic fatigue, chronic pain, brain fog, Irritable bowel, arthritis, mental health, memory problems, type 2 diabetes, hormonal imbalances, autoimmune
conditions and many more conditions.
Tests such as comprehensive gut stool analysis, full hormonal profile, organic acid levels, epigenetic DNA tests, detoxification and oxidative stress tests are performed with an objective to find out the root of the
illness.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Functional medicine gives Dr Hula the clinical decision-making tools that is required to navigate the landscape of illness by exploring all relevant mechanisms. Your personal treatment plan is backed by scientific research. Part of this research involves selecting the most appropriate tests to get the best possible results that are relevant only to you.
