What is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a personalised and integrative approach to healthcare, which can trace the root causes of complex health problems, help clients to understand what is going on and how to improve their health and relieve chronic disease holistically.
Functional medicine compliments conventional medicine and provides a new dimension in the evaluation, management and prevention of chronic disease.
Why Is Functional Medicine Needed?
There has been a dramatic rise globally in chronic health problems such as autoimmune conditions, neuro developmental issues, blood sugar problems, anxiety and depression.
Functional Medicine is a holistic model of healthcare that asks how and why illness occurs and aims to restore health by addressing the root cause of disease for each individual.

How it works
Contact Us
After you fill-in our
contact form
Eoin with call you. This free 15min phone call is to make sure that our services are right for you.
Paperwork
We will email you our intake paperwork and request any recent blood or scan results. These must be completed and returned before an initial consultation date can be set.
Initial Consultation
The initial 2-3hr consultation must be in person either in Skibbereen, Co Cork or by appointment in Dublin. This consultation will include a physical and neurological assessment plus a case review. Further testing will be discussed at this stage and an initial treatment plan put in place. A thorough case history, neurological exam and physical exam are essential with complex health cases as many brain, neurological and gastrointestinal complaints are not apparent with blood tests alone.
Appointments
Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled monthly. These can be in person or online as we work together through your case.
“Helping you to get well and stay well"
Are you suffering with an autoimmune condition?
There are more than 80 different autoimmune conditions, which vary greatly from each other. Some of the better known are MS (multiple sclerosis) which causes nerve damage. Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis which damages the thyroid gland, Rheumatoid Arthritis which affects the joints and autoimmune gastritis which affects the digestive system. The feature that is similar to them all is that the bodies immune system is inappropriately damaging its own tissue. A personalised diet, nutrition and lifestyle approach can change the expression of autoimmune conditions for many people.
Have you tried everything?
Chronic health issues normally take a long time to develop and therefore a long time until a diagnosis is available. Symptoms like brain fatigue, general fatigue, difficultly managing weight, chronic pain, chronic IBS, anxiety, depression or unusual unexplained symptoms which have been ignored or classed as normal can all be helped with a functional medicine approach.
Have you been diagnosed with Low Thyroid function?
The leading cause of hypothyroidism (low thyroid function) is an autoimmune condition called Hashimotos thyroiditis. People with this condition are placed on hormone replacement therapy, which is necessary, however because the root cause is often overlooked they may still have symptoms related to low thyroid function like weight gain, tiredness, constipation, aches and pains, sensitivity to cold and depression. A functional medicine approach looking at all the factors that have caused your immune system to over react can be a game changer and help you improve your health.
Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity but cutting out gluten doesn’t seem to help you?
This is more common than you think. There are many reasons including intestinal permeability, cross reactive foods and further undiagnosed gastrointestinal complaints. By taking a deeper dive into your personal circumstances we can help you get to the root cause and create a personalised treatment programme that will help.
Are your blood tests normal but you still feel unwell?
It is actually very common to feel unwell even when blood results are normal. Many conditions do not cause changes in blood chemistry, for these cases a full neurological and physical in person assessment will help to uncover what is going on for you.
