One cannot talk about the immune system without mentioning the gastrointestinal tract and inflammation. They are one and the same.

• Balance & optimise the immune system
• Manage chronic inflammation
• Address allergies & autoimmune issues
• Heal the gut & microbiome

Disordered immune function is at the core of several chronic and lifestyle related illnesses, such as chronic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, food allergies, sensitivities and intolerances, increased susceptibility to infection, increased gut permeability, cognitive and mood disorders, cardiovascular issues, endocrine imbalances, accelerated ageing, cancer etc.

In modern societies there is an especially growing concern with the rise in the number of people suffering from autoimmune issues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes mellitus, Guillain-Barre syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, psoriasis etc. And more often than not the issue comes down to gastrointestinal (GIT) and inflammatory disorders.

Functional Medicine is remarkably equipped to help resolve immune, GIT and inflammatory concerns by considering them both holistically and individually. This specific area of health is so important to the manifestation of chronic diseases that it is often the first area that most practitioners focus on, no matter the issue. However, many patients may require a more focused and intense intervention in order to overcome their health related concerns. Furthermore, even if you do not feel particularly ill, making sure that these areas are functioning optimally is often the key to disease prevention and increasing healthspan.

Added benefit in choosing Nu-Me…

My experience in immune related disorders is two-fold. While my masters focused primarily on lifestyle related causes of chronic diseases, my postgraduate degree was in medical biochemistry, where I specialized in communicable diseases (viruses, bacteria, yeast, protozoa etc.). Therefore, I am in an exceptional position to advise you on both communicable and non-communicable lifestyle interventions. In these especially difficult times, I can assist in boosting your natural defense system without causing potential harm in other aspects of your wellbeing, such developing autoimmune issues and/or allergies
