Functional medicine consultation – a holistic view of health

A holistic consultation

During a functional medicine consultation, there will be a thorough conversation where we examine as many aspects as possible in relation to your symptoms.

In functional medicine, we look at a problem or symptom from several different angles, as we believe that there are often multifactorial reasons why the body will not cooperate.

We can truly say that the holistic perspective is being used here. Among other things, we will address questions that deal with everything from digestion, bladder function, diet, smoking, alcohol, exercise, sleep, genetics, stress level to energy level and the symptoms you experience. This can also include analyses of blood tests, urine tests, fecal tests, etc. The goal is to gain an understanding of what may be causing your symptoms and how they can be resolved for you. It is important to us that you learn as much as possible on your journey, so that in the long term you are able to regain control of your symptoms yourself, without being dependent on eternal treatment.

We also prepare a detailed plan that includes measures within diet, sleep, exercise, supplements, stress reduction, alcohol, smoking and/or collaboration with other professionals, if deemed necessary.
If needed, we will also consider relevant tests that can be performed either within the established healthcare system or privately.

How a functional medicine consultation is done

• A list of any medications you are taking.
• A list of supplements you take (preferably which brands you use).
• Results from tests (e.g. blood tests) from your doctor or other healthcare providers – these can also be accessed online during the consultation.
• It’s a good idea to take pictures or write down what you’ve eaten and drunk over three random days. This is both a good exercise and makes it easier to get an overview.
