Rheumatoid arthritis involves the immune system attacking the lining of the joints. This guide covers what triggers that immune response, why symptoms often persist despite treatment, and how a functional medicine approach looks beyond suppressing inflammation to what’s keeping it switched on.
Psoriasis: symptoms, causes and the functional medicine approach
Psoriasis is often treated as a skin problem, but the irritated skin is a symptom of something else. Underneath, the immune system stays overactive long after skin clears. This guide covers what keeps that immune activity going, and why standard treatment often doesn’t stop it.
IBD: symptoms, causes and the functional medicine approach
IBD is a chronic inflammatory disease of the gut, where an overactive immune response damages the gut lining. Symptoms are often felt beyond the gut, and fatigue can continue even during remission. This guide covers what causes IBD, how it’s diagnosed, and a root-cause approach to supporting long-term gut health.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis: symptoms, causes and the functional medicine approach
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is an autoimmune condition where antibodies gradually damage thyroid tissue, reducing hormone production and affecting metabolism, energy, and mood. This guide covers what triggers it, why symptoms can linger on medication, and how a functional medicine approach helps.
Coeliac disease: symptoms, causes and the functional medicine approach
Coeliac disease affects far more people than realise it, with around 80% of Australians living with the condition still undiagnosed. Many have no digestive symptoms at all, presenting instead with fatigue, anaemia, or fertility difficulties. This guide explains what’s actually happening in the gut, why symptoms often persist even after going gluten-free, and what a functional medicine approach adds to standard care.
Why inflammation is the hidden driver of chronic disease (and how to extinguish it)
What do acne, fatigue, depression and IBS have in common? Most people think of these and other chronic health conditions as separate and unrelated illnesses. But they share one underlying factor, and that is – inflammation.
