25.01.2022 Good news we just found out about (you might know this already, though it was news for us!) - the Australian Government is now providing 10 additional Medicare subsidised psychological therapy sessions for people subjected to further restrictions in areas impacted by the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Read the government's statement to find out more: https://www.health.gov.au//additional-covid-19-mental-heal

25.01.2022 Often, when you go to a doctor or a healthcare practitioner, you’re told what your condition is and how to treat it, yet there’s rarely real education between you and the practitioner to understand what’s going on in your body, and why. Functional medicine is different. It understands that by finding and addressing the root cause, or causes, of illness, the body can heal. At MFM, we seek to understand where patients’ conditions are rooted and what biological and environment...al factors contribute to their growth. We consider the complex interaction of many elements such as their health history, physiology, diet, and lifestyle. Our practitioners then use this data and understanding in creating a plan made tailor fit for each patient. We then educate our patients so they understand what’s going on in their body, and how their healthcare helps to improve their health. This is often an empowering, revelatory experience, as they finally ‘get’ what’s going on, and how they can fix it! What are your experiences when visiting the doctor? What would you like to change from these visits?

25.01.2022 A recent study across 8 countries, including Australia, revealed that patients with at least one chronic health condition are mostly unhappy with the current healthcare system. The majority of patients want a complete system improvement or overhaul. 57% of Australians surveyed believe that fundamental changes were needed to improve the healthcare system, and 20% stated it needed an entire rebuild. The problem lies in how the health system has been built, outlined in the paper...: Systems initially designed to respond to acute, episodic illness increasingly care for patients with ongoing conditions, where the goals include preventing complications or deterioration rather than cure. Unfortunately, the healthcare system was designed to respond to acute illness, a framework that falls short in solving chronic conditions. Functional medicineour approach at MFM, fills this gap. It’s designed for managing or resolving chronic health conditions. It also seeks to restore health by addressing imbalances in the body using diet and lifestyle interventions rather than prescribing medication. Do you agree that our healthcare system needs a shake up in Australia?

25.01.2022 Living in Melbourne has been tough this year, hasn't it? So far, we’ve experienced lock downs for nearly 5 months, wearing masks is now mandatory, and people have lost their freedom, livelihoods and physical connection with those they love. We’re seeing and hearing that more people are struggling to cope with the impact of these changes and the unpredictability of the future. That's why we've put together an article to share why and how the pandemic impacts mental wel...lness, and some techniques and strategies to help you and your loved ones through this challenging time. We cover: - How mental wellness exists on a scale - Why mental illness is just like any other health condition - What mental illness looks like - How crises impact the mind - How humans crave connection - and research on depression and anxiety - Strategies for shifting your mood during lockdown - How food, movement and sleep can improve your mental wellness - How to have mental health conversations with others - Navigating thoughts of suicide - and how to recognise suicide risk in others - Helpful resources Read the article here: https://melbournefunctionalmedicine.com.au/mental-health-d/ See more

24.01.2022 Many a time we pop a pill, and for a moment it works! But this approach is often just a band aid solution to an ongoing problem, which can make your health worse in the long run. It’s high time we revisit our take on healthcare when it comes to these types of chronic health conditions. At Melbourne Functional Medicine, we specialise in treating those with chronic health conditions. Most chronic health issues are caused by diet, lifestyle and environmental factors that influen...ce your genetics to bring about illness. Hence it’s imperative to find out the root causes of health conditions - looking at diet, lifestyle and environment - and develop a long-term plan to address them. This is the heart of the functional medicine approach. Going through lifestyle changes can be daunting. We know! We’ve all been there. Exercising and changing eating patterns are often easier said than done. But with the help of our health coaches who are change experts, you can bet we’ll help you every step of the way to make these changes easier and even enjoyable! We have cutting-edge functional medicine and results-focused health coaching that's leading the way in healthcare in Australia.

24.01.2022 The acronym FODMAP has, in the last few years, worked its way into the Australian health and food vernacular. You can now find processed food and ready-to-go meals that identify themselves as ‘FODMAP friendly’. So what are FODMAPs and how do they fit into your health puzzle?

23.01.2022 Have you tried to get rid of acne, but no matter what you try nothing seems to work? As acne is largely caused by a hormonal imbalance, the conventional approach seeks to mask the natural hormonal environment through the contraceptive pill. The unfortunate truth about the pill is that while it can resolve acne, it does so by artificially suppressing the hormones necessary to conceive. This doesn’t resolve the root cause - hormone imbalances - it simply suppresses the prob...lem. And because of the pill's hormone suppressing action, women who've been on the pill for many years can face fertility issues. This is because the pill suppresses ovulation, and when coming off the pill, your body can forget what to do. Sadly, this leaves women facing both acne and fertility issues. The pill also depletes key vitamins like folate, B6, B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, as well as magnesium, zinc, and selenium - all vital nutrients for achieving and maintaining a healthy pregnancy. The functional medicine approach seeks to rebalance the hormonal system so that hormones are no longer driving the acne. Want to know how to solve acne for good without taking drugs that may harm your health? Watch our webinar Get Clear Skin, Naturally: Discover How to Solve Acne For Good. Our skin expert Rebecca Hughes will reveal why you haven't solved your acne, the 5 biggest acne mistakes to avoid, 6 key factors that influence skin health that you must know about, and so much more.

23.01.2022 Extensive studies and research point to good gut health as one of the most important elements in a person’s overall well-being. However, mainstream western medicine is only starting to get in on this secret. In fact, data from The Gut Foundation shows that half of all Australians actually suffer from digestive problems in any given 12-month period. So much of what we experience outside of our digestive system is closely linked with gut health. Some of these symptoms are rashe...s, acne, anxiety, asthma, and fatigue. All of these can point to poor gut health. At Melbourne Functional Medicine, we understand the role your gastrointestinal health plays in your overall health. So whether you have a skin condition, a brain or mood condition, or symptoms closer to home in the gut, we’ll give you a comprehensive assessment that includes assessing all body systems to get to the root of your health challenges.

21.01.2022 Anyone who has experienced hives knows just how uncomfortable and frustrating they can be. In acute cases, each flare or outbreak will usually resolve or fade within 24 hours. Yet for people living with chronic hives, episodes continue unrelenting for six weeks or more. People who rarely experience hives may opt to use antihistamines or avoid any obvious triggers, but for those battling chronic recurring hives, the answer isn’t so simple. Patients often turn to Melbour...ne Functional Medicine after they’ve exhausted all of the conventional ways to solve chronic hives without success. Our skin health expert Rebecca Hughes understands their frustration and desperation for a lasting and effective natural treatment for hives. And it all starts with understanding the underlying cause. So if you’re still seeking a solution for your battle with hives, hopefully, our article will help.

17.01.2022 Our health rarely occupies our mind unless we have something to complain abouttiredness, poor digestion, aches and pains. And when we complain about these things to our doctor, they tend to prescribe us medicine to suppress that symptom rather than solve it. More often than not, what we feel in our bodies aren’t one-time occurrences that can easily be fixed by medication. A lot of our chief complaints are greatly linked to our lifestyleswhat we eat, when and how well we sle...ep, how we move. At Melbourne Functional Medicine, not only do we help solve your long-standing health problems, you also get support from a health coach to make sure you get the best results possible. Your coach helps you implement your treatment plan and make the changes to your diet, exercise regime, sleep, relaxation time, and even mindset. If you’ve struggled to make the right changes before, having a health coach will make this a thing of the past!

17.01.2022 Many of us are aware of the health effects of food and exercise. Yet what you might not consider is the products you use in your home every day. There are potentially toxic substances lurking in everyday items found throughout the average home. These chemicals can cause a variety of symptoms, and even lead to disease. Thankfully, there are some smart switches you can make to reduce your exposure to these compounds.

16.01.2022 Eczema can have a significant impact on quality of life for people of all ages, from causing discomfort and distress in infants, to concerns about appearance and self-esteem for adults. And just like the problem isn't just skin deep for eczema sufferers, neither is the approach to solving eczema. Research is beginning to uncover the links and connections in the gut-skin axis, and studies in humans and animals have revealed atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is often associated wi...th dysbiosis of the gut and skin microbiome. Research has also found that dietary factors can exacerbate and even cause dermatitis, making food and nutrition both a potential trigger and treatment, in the fight against eczema. This is why our practitioners at Melbourne Functional Medicine treat eczema with a holistic whole-of-body approach. Often our patients come to us seeking a more permanent solution after trying the conventional approach, which is commonly limited to topical ointments and bleach baths. While these measures can provide some limited relief from symptoms, they fail to address the root cause of the issue. Whether you’re caring for a child or loved one with eczema, or living with the condition yourself, we know how important it is for you to find a lasting treatment for eczema that works. So we’ve put together this article supported by some of the latest research into a functional medicine and natural treatment approach to managing eczema.

16.01.2022 We're excited to announce a new team member - health coach Jessica Cairns Jessica’s journey into the health industry started in her late 20s, when she experienced digestive, weight and mental health challenges. After solving her health problems through nutrition and lifestyle practices like exercise and mindfulness, a drive to help others reclaim their health was born. Jessica dove into studying health, earning a Diploma in Human Nutrition and a Certification in Wellness Co...aching. Being a life-long lover of food, she now enjoys guiding and empowering people to improve their health while sharing her passion for food! Jessica has an intimate understanding of mental health and wellness in particular. Not only from her personal experience - she grew up with a family member with a severe mental illness that impacted her in many ways. She also saw how diet, lifestyle and mindfulness practices transformed her family member’s health, changing the outcome of their diagnosis. This was in the 80s and 90s, long before the scientific links between lifestyle and mental illness were even considered. Jessica says: My greatest passion in health is helping people develop an improved sense of calm, resilience and self-awareness about the elements of their health that are going to serve them best. I know from my life experiences how important it is to feel empowered, connected and in-control of your health and I truly believe that is exactly what working with a health coach has to offer. Once you make changes to your mindset, eating habits and the way you move your body, you then have the ability to live your best happy and healthy life. Welcome to the team, Jessica! . . . . . #functionalmedicine #integrativemedicine #foodasmedicine #holisticnutrition #integrativenutrition #naturopathicdoctor #naturopathicmedicine #letfoodbethymedicine #holisticnutritionist #alternativehealing #functionalnutrition #naturopath #naturopathy #functionalnutrition #naturalmedicine #naturopathicmedicine #holistichealthcoach #melbourne #functionalmedicinehealthcoach #functionalmedicinecoach #healthcoaching #nourishyourself #healthcoachlife #healthcoaches #wellnessgoals #mindandbody

15.01.2022 Most people think of eczema as a 'little skin rash' - yet there's so much more than meets the eye. A skin condition like eczema is a sign of imbalances in other body systems like the immune system and digestive system. In a recent podcast interview with @mattylansdown, our skin expert Rebecca Hughes shared some fascinating, little known insights into eczema, including why skin and steroid creams can cause more harm than good, as well as myths and misconceptions around eczem...a.

14.01.2022 Trying to make changes to get your health back can be challenging. Most healthcare services fall short on providing the support patients need to follow their treatment plan after they leave the clinic. This grossly impacts the likelihood of success, and is why so many people see little improvement in their health. In a typical setting, you'll see a practitioner, then be left to your own devices to take action on your treatment plan in between sessions. As soon as you leave th...e clinic, you feel overwhelmed with the changes you need to make, and may have even already forgotten some! Even with the best of attempts, you'll likely encounter obstacles that, without any support or guidance, will likely lead you to give up not long after you've started. Health Coaching fills this gap so you get the results you want and be the healthiest you can be. Your health coach is there to support you the whole way along. After each session with your practitioner, they will be there to answer any questions, ensuring you can implement your plan with clarity and ease. Do you have questions about health coaching?

11.01.2022 As your body is made up of several systems that closely work together, where you feel pain or unease may only be the starting point of understanding what’s really going on. Looking at the whole body versus just one system in isolation allows us to see what else is going on in your body that can help to identify the cause of your ailments. This comprehensive approach to assessing your health requires a broad understanding of human biology and how each system interacts with oth...ers. Our practitioners Jabe and Rebecca have an incredible breadth and depth of knowledge in this area. This is why we can address a range of conditions such as digestive health, skin health, cardiometabolic health, thyroid health, women’s health, children’s health, fatigue, autoimmunity, brain & mood, and overall health optimisation.

05.01.2022 A lot of our patients think that the treatment they get for their health condition is the same that another person with the same condition would get.That isn’t actually true! Healthcare solutions are complex and shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all solution. Each person is completely unique in their presenting symptoms, genetics, diet, lifestyle and so on, so their healthcare plan is too. This is why we take the time to get to know you, and develop a healthcare plan specifically ...for you. This highly personalised approach will get you clarity on your health, a plan that’s made for you, and all the support you need to give you results. We'll give you clarity, support and results.

05.01.2022 Curious to know how to solve skin problems like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and fungal skin infections? Hint - topical treatments rarely solve the problem. Looking beyond the surface is where the answer lies - and is where the functional medicine approach to skin health comes in. The functional medicine approach includes an indepth health assessment that looks at your diet, lifestyle, health history - including your childhood health and the environment you grew up - and genetic...s to find the root causes and drivers to heal skin from the inside out. Our skin expert Rebecca Hughes had a fascinating talk with @dermhealth.co on their Heal Thy Skin podcast. She dives into some little known facts around skin health - such as: - factors to consider when it comes to any skin condition - how your gallbladder health and digestive health relates to skin health - the role of food allergies and sensitivities in skin conditions - a surprising connection between strep throat and tonsilitis and eczema and psoriasis - how pathogen-related problems in eczema and psoriasis can be solved - why antibacterials can often make skin conditions worse To listen, either click the link below or search "heal thy skin" in your favourite podcast app. https://melbournefunctionalmedicine.com.au/skin-health/ . . . . . #skincaretip #eczemacommunity #acnejourney #acnehelp #acnetips #eczema #acneprone #acnecare #acneskin #acnesolutions #psoriasis #dermhealthco #healthyskinpodcast #acneproneskin #acneskincare #skinproblems #functionalmedicineskin #skinhealth #healthyskin #acne #clearskin #skincaretips #functionalmedicinepractitioner #integrativehealth #naturopathicmedicine #naturopathy #naturopath #functionalmedicine #integrativemedicine

03.01.2022 Functional medicine is guided by key principles that help to promote health. 1 - You are genetically and biochemically unique. No one person has the same genetics, biology, or set of symptoms, and the same disease can be expressed differently in people. Therefore, having a personalised approach that treats the individual, not the disease, is essential. 2 - It is deeply science-based. We base our recommendations and ways forward on the latest research and tools. The latest re...search shows us that what happens within us is connected in a complicated network or web of relationships. Understanding those relationships allows us to see deeply into the functioning of the body. 3 - Your body is intelligent. It has the capacity for self-regulation, which expresses itself through a dynamic balance of all your body systems. 4 - Your body has the ability to heal. When we are able to give our body what it needs - nutrition, rest, movement - it can be trusted to heal itself. 5 - Health is a state of immense vitality. To be healthy doesn’t just mean not being sick. It means having active energy and strength for the day-to-day. It’s feeling physically and mentally well. Did any of these principles surprise you? . . . #functionalmedicine #integrativemedicine #foodasmedicine #holisticnutrition #integrativenutrition #naturopathicdoctor #naturopathicmedicine #letfoodbethymedicine #holisticnutritionist #alternativehealing #functionalnutrition #naturopath #naturopathy #functionalnutrition #naturalmedicine #naturopathicmedicine #holistichealthcoach #melbourne #functionalmedicinehealthcoach #functionalmedicinecoach #healthcoaching #nourishyourself #healthcoachlife #healthcoaches #wellnessgoals #mindandbody
