During comprehensive consultation WWC clinical practitioner integrates traditional Western practices with what sometimes is called “integrative” or “functional” medicine creating focus on prevention through nutrition, diet and exercise. Laboratory testing and other diagnostic techniques may be recommended. Further prescribed medication and/or botanical medicines, supplements, therapeutic nutrition, detoxification programs, or stress- management techniques may be prescribed. Follow ups are recommended in person or through video calls, you and your clinical practitioner will work with you in order optimise your health.

Functional medicine is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centred focus to a more patient-centred approach, the functional medicine addresses the whole person not just isolated symptoms. At WWC, functional medicine practitioners spend time with their patients during consultation, listening to their histories and looking at the interaction among genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic diseases. In this way, functional medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual. Functional medicine assessment involves understanding the origins, prevention and treatment of complex chronic diseases. That will include patient-centred care, integrative, science-based questions from patient’s history, physiology and lifestyle that can lead to illness. The unique genetic makeup of each patient is considered, along with body internal (mind, body and spirit) and external (physical and social environment) factors that affects total functioning.

At the WWC we work with several specialist to optimise patients health. Where needed we refer patients for: specialised gut detox, peri- and menopausal nutrition testing and plans, personalised women’s fitness consultant, women’s therapy and so on, according to the patient needs.
