ABOUT FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE

A Personalised, Root-Cause Approach to Health

Functional Medicine is a patient-centred approach to healthcare that focuses on understanding the underlying factors influencing health and wellbeing. Rather than concentrating solely on symptoms, it explores how genetics, lifestyle, nutrition, environment, and physiology interact to affect the body’s function.

At Pilates Plus London, Functional Medicine consultations are personalised, thorough, and evidence-informed. We take time to understand your health history, current concerns, and long-term goals, using this information to develop a tailored plan that supports balance, resilience, and optimal function.

Functional Medicine may be appropriate for individuals seeking deeper insight into ongoing or complex health concerns, or those wishing to take a proactive, preventative approach to wellbeing.

GENETICS

Genetic Testing

Genetic testing within Functional Medicine aims to provide insight into how your unique genetic makeup may influence aspects of health such as nutrient metabolism, detoxification pathways, inflammation, and stress response.

At Pilates Plus London, genetic testing is used as a supportive tool within a wider Functional Medicine framework. Results are interpreted carefully and discussed in detail, ensuring they are meaningful, practical, and relevant to your individual context.

Genetic testing is not diagnostic but can help inform personalised lifestyle and nutritional strategies to support long-term health and wellbeing.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL & HORMONAL TESTING

Advanced functional testing may be recommended as part of a Functional Medicine approach to gain deeper insight into specific areas of health. These tests can help identify functional patterns or imbalances that may not be visible through standard investigations.

Testing is always considered carefully and recommended only when appropriate. Results are reviewed in the context of your overall health picture and used to guide personalised recommendations.

All testing is explained clearly, with support provided before and after testing to ensure you understand the purpose, process, and outcomes.
