This extremely difficult phase in our lives taught me that healing goes beyond managing your symptoms and is not only about physical health. It’s an emotional, spiritual and physical healing that starts from deep inside of you.

Functional Medicine helps us understand the connection between our environment, lifestyle and behaviour and address them at a root level
The good news is that you do not need to be at “war” with your body.
Having an autoimmune condition doesn’t mean your body has given up on you! Living with a chronic illness means that your body is trying its best to adapt to the environment you are asking it to live in.
Dealing with any such conditions requires us to make changes in terms of our lifestyle, our diet and our mindset. As a result, the steps that my clients have to take can become really overwhelming. To avoid this, I take my clients through a step-by-step process that consists of 6 stages. By going through this process, they become much more aware of their own bodies, feel more energetic and confident as they finally start addressing the root causes of their disease.
Our bodies and our immune system have not evolved to be stuck in this constant “survival” mode. Being stuck in a “fight or flight” response does not leave much room for our bodies to heal. Addressing the root causes of your condition by supporting your body’s healing and recovery are critical if you want to get better.
The more clarity we have on how we plan to implement a new habit or reach a goal the more likely it is that we will be able to achieve it. However, if it is not very obvious when and where we need to take action it is not easy to implement it. Without setting clear health goals, it can become difficult to live the kind of life that you dream of.
Having some kind of support in the form of accountability is important when you are trying to make healthy choices. Only information and education are not enough. Making healthy choices needs to become a new habit that is a part of your daily routine.
