Functional Medicine With Kyushi Wellness

At Kyushi Wellness our Functional Medicine approach differs from most; We combine the most up to date lab testing, your clinical symptom patterns, muscle testing, and the bioresonance scan to achieve the comprehensive evaluation of you and your body. This way we can curate the most tailored plans to meet your own unique goals and needs.

Functional Medicine looks at the body as one, interconnected system because symptoms rarely happen in isolation.

Instead of treating problems separately, we search for the root cause of your symptoms by understanding how everything in your body works together. Just like in nature, when one part of your system is off, it affects the rest.

By addressing the whole picture, not just the surface, we help bring your body back into balance. That means long-term healing, not just symptom management.

Functional medicine is a whole-body approach to healthcare that focuses on identifying and addressing the root causes of illness, rather than just treating symptoms. It’s based on the idea that every person is unique, and health problems are often caused by a combination of factors, such as genetics, lifestyle, environment, and diet.

Bio Resonance Scan

Here’s how it works:

  1. Looking at the Whole Person: Instead of just looking at one symptom or disease, practitioners of functional medicine try to understand your entire health story, medical history, your environment, diet, stress levels, and even your relationships. The goal is to understand how everything in your life could be affecting your health.
  2. Root Causes: Rather than just masking symptoms with medication, functional medicine aims to uncover the underlying causes of those symptoms. For example, if you have chronic headaches, a practitioner of functional medicine might look at possible causes like immune challenges, food, hormone imbalances, metabolic disorders, sleep problems, or oxidative stress, instead of just giving you a painkiller.
  3. Personalised Treatment: In functional medicine, treatments are personalised. What works for one person might not work for another. Your Practitioner might recommend changes to your diet, lifestyle, supplements, genetic or epigenetic support or even personalised detox strategies. These recommendations are based on your unique health needs and goals.
  4. Collaboration and Prevention: Functional medicine involves working together as one and not in a hierarchy. The idea is to empower you to take an active role in your own health by making positive lifestyle choices. It also focuses on preventing disease before it starts, instead of just reacting to illness after it happens.

Functional Medicine vs Conventional Medicine

Functional Medicine thinks about things differently from conventional medicine. Below we outline the key differences in thinking methods.

Functional Medicine Methods

Person Centred – focuses on treating each individual and not the disease. Treatments are completely bespoke based on individual needs.

Empowering – educates you about your health and wellbeing whilst simultaneously encouraging you to play an active part in your treatment and planning.

Restorative – aims to restore optimum function of each person, thus helping to prevent and reverse disease whilst improving quality life.

Science Based – true science is observational and leads us to the answer. The research used is taken from a huge pool including medicine, physiology biology, nature and quantum physics

In Depth Approach – focuses in finding and addressing the underlying cause of the problem. This leads to a complete state of Health and Wellbeing and rebalancing the body

Truly Holistic – recognises that everything within a person is completely interconnected and no part can be separated from it’s effect on any other

Completely Safe – as treatments are aiming to restore a nutrient that is lacking balance side effects are only ever mild or absent. Often symptoms not complained of prior to treatment also resolve.

Proactive – aims to prevent or reverse disease by recognising a dysfunction before it becomes a recognised disease and bringing the body back in to balance.

Conventional Medicine Methods

Disease Centred – people with the same disease get the same treatment and each persons individuality and needs are not taken into account.

Promotes Reliance – generally a hierarchy exists where the Doctor has all of the knowledge and power without the time to explain so the patient asks no questions.

Palliative – designed to prevent death and serious disease but is not focussed on returning each person to a true state of health and wellbeing.

Medical Science Based – approaches research from a position of bias. Pharmaceutical companies conduct research aiming to find out a pharmacological agent to work against a particular disease.

Linear Approach – focusses on symptom and or disease management without finding what is truly casing the problem. Symptoms are often masked but the disease process often continues underneath.

Isolated – treats the body as being disconnected into its individual parts that do not affect each other. I.e a cardiologist for the heart; a neurologist for nerves etc.

Often Side Effects – as treatments mask symptoms they often place extra load elsewhere in the body. People often start having to stack medications to mask unwanted side effects from their primary treatment.

Reactive – you might have multiple symptoms and dysfunctions but without a disease diagnosis you can’t be offered treatment. Once things get bad enough for you to be diagnosed you can then receive treatment for that disease.
