Thrive Functional Medicine, located in Kalbarri, is a holistic health and wellness centre offering a range of services to support individuals on their journey to optimal health. With a team of highly experienced professionals, including a Health consultant, Hypnotherapy service, Nurse practitioner, Psychotherapist, and Yoga instructor, Thrive Functional Medicine aims to provide comprehensive and integrative approaches to healing and wellbeing.
The team at Thrive Functional Medicine believes in the principles of functional medicine, which involves identifying and addressing the root cause of dis-ease rather than just treating the symptoms. This approach takes into consideration the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit. By providing evidence-based interventions such as personalised nutrition and lifestyle plans, nutrient therapy, botanicals, psychological interventions, and detoxification protocols, Thrive Functional Medicine supports individuals in activating their body's innate ability to heal.
One of the key areas of focus at Thrive Functional Medicine is gut health. The team understands the importance of supporting intestinal health and restoring the integrity of the gut barrier for overall wellbeing. They recognise the role of over 100 trillion gut bacteria in maintaining health and offer personalised strategies to optimise gut health.
In addition to gut health, Thrive Functional Medicine also addresses mental health concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, and PTSD. By managing these mood disorders, the team aims to reduce systemic inflammation and calm the nervous system, which can improve various chronic conditions.
Thrive Functional Medicine recognises the impact of heavy metal toxicity on overall health. Their experts offer detoxification and chelation protocols to eliminate the build-up of heavy metals such as lead, aluminium, and mercury in the body. This can help restore normal functioning and improve chronic conditions.
Genetic mutations play a significant role in how our genes express themselves. Thrive Functional Medicine offers support in understanding and managing these genetic mutations, which can impact energy levels, mood, detoxification processes, and methylation pathways, ultimately improving longevity.
Immune response and hormone health are other important areas of focus at Thrive Functional Medicine. By calming the immune system, the team helps prevent or reduce autoimmune responses that attack and damage the body. They also aim to balance hormones to address issues such as lethargy, weight gain, brain fog, mood swings, cycle irregularities, and menopausal symptoms.
Thrive Functional Medicine utilises a wide range of tests not commonly used in conventional medicine to assess multiple systems of the body and identify areas that are not functioning optimally. These tests can assess gut health, food intolerances, hormone imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, detoxification capacity, heavy metal presence, gene mutations, and more.
Based on the results of these tests, each client receives a personalised treatment approach that incorporates nutritional, lifestyle, and psychological treatments alongside alternative and conventional therapies. The team at Thrive Functional Medicine aims to empower clients to achieve their personal health goals and develop a healthy growth mindset.
At Thrive Functional Medicine, the fundamental belief is to listen to the body and understand the messages it sends through symptoms. Through functional pathology testing, the team can identify the underlying systems causing these symptoms. This comprehensive approach allows for a more accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
Whether you are seeking support for a specific health concern or striving for overall wellness, the team at Thrive Functional Medicine is dedicated to providing personalised and integrative approaches to support your health journey.
